Limus® protects urea-based fertilisers, minimising nitrogen losses from voltilisation and ensuring optimal nitrogen is available for your crop. Here are 7 reasons why you should choose N-Shield® fertilisers protected by Limus®

#1 Reduces ammonia emissions by up to 98%

#2 Increases application timing flexibility

Limus® protected fertilisers can be applied independent of weather conditions as they effectively prevent these losses. This not only simplifies fertilisation programmes considerably, it also allows for greater flexibility and a more efficient use of resources.

#3 Improves yield by 5% compared to unprotected Urea

Comprehensive sets of replicated trials were carried out by ADAS and BASF to look at the performance of Limus® protected Urea vs Unprotected Granular Urea.

#4 Raises performance to the level of AN

As part of the wide-ranging DEFRA funded NT26 project, the performance of the urease inhibitor, NBPT (one of the active ingredients in Limus®) was evaluated as an alternative to Ammonium Nitrate (AN) The project concluded that Granular Urea plus NBPT matched AN for performance in winter cereals, according to average figures taken from 10 locations.

#5 The only urease inhibitor with two actives for optimal efficacy

As the only urease inhibitor with two active ingredients, Limus® more effectively minimises ammonia losses, ensuring greater availability for crops and higher yields.

#6 Storage and stability

All Diamond Fertilisers are stored undercover to protect the fertiliser and prolong the shelf-life. Limus® is formulated with BASF patented polymer technology, providing longer a.i. stability versus generic NBPT and 2-NPT formulations. Even at 20°C Limus® is stable for more than 12 months, giving confidence that even if purchased a year in advance, Limus® will still work effectively. 

#7 Quality Granular Urea

Our Granular Urea is sourced from trusted manufacturers renowned for providing a high quality product. These manufacturers are reliable for consistency in size and for spreadability characteristics.

As the only urease inhibitor with two active ingredients, Limus® more effectively minimises ammonia losses, ensuring greater availability for crops and higher yields.

The stability of urease inhibitors when added to urea can be limited. Limus® contains a BASF patented polymer technology, providing longer a.i stability versys generic NBPT and 2-NPT formulations. Even at 20 degrees Limus® is stable for more than 12 months, giving confidence that even if purchased a year in advance, Limus® will still work effectively.
