Nitro-NP™
Nitro-NP™ seed enhancements help capture water, increase early root growth and encourage early leaf development.
Get StartedThe Nitro-NP® AdvantageBoosting Establishment
Designed specifically for grasses, Nitro-NP™ provides three key elements to help speed seed establishment and the development of essential root and plant tissue, aiding in overall plant performance.
WaterSeedling Establishment
Capture the Water
Seeds need water to both germinate and establish strong root systems. Nitro-NP™ uses AquaTEKsc™ water-absorbing technology to provide each seed with its own water storage tank, which reduces seedling mortality and speeds up establishment.
Improve Germination
For a seed to germinate, the shell of the seed needs to be softened, and the inside of the seed needs to have a chance to absorb water. If, however, there is only a small amount of water, the seed may never get soft enough or it may germinate, only to die for lack of additional moisture.
Expedite Root Growth
AquaTEKsc™ stores water next to the seed. As root hairs form, they can tap into this source, take up the water, and expedite their growth.
PhosphorusGrow the Roots
Fast Root Development
Young seedlings require phosphorus to develop strong root systems. Nitro-NP™ provides developing roots quick access to this essential nutrient, enabling them to grow bigger, faster.
Enhanced Plant Development
Quick root hair development ensures faster nutrient and water uptake from the soil, maximizing overall plant growth. Healthy roots are not only vital for early plant development but also help seedlings better withstand challenges such as disease, pests, and weed pressure.
Robust Root Establishment
Rapid initial root growth is very important to ensure full establishment before harsh summers or winters. By establishing a robust root system early, plants are more likely to survive their initial harsh weather season, giving them the best chance to thrive in the years to come.
NitrogenFeed the Leaves
Boosted Beginning
Nitrogen is essential for leaf growth. With Nitro-NP™ new seedlings get a jump-start on initial leaf development. Early leaf growth gives seedlings a crucial advantage in competing for light and nutrients.
Targeted Feeding
Nitro-NP™ gives seedlings an individual application of essential nutrition to supplement soil-applied sources. Soil-applied nutrition applied at time of seeding will be absorbed by all plants in the surrounding soil (including weeds). Nutrition provided by Nitro-NP™ is less likely to be stolen by unwanted neighbor plants.
Key Benefits of Nitro-NP
Faster Germination and Establishment
Nitro-NP™ boosts seed germination by ensuring each seed has access to critical water and nutrients, helping seedlings establish more quickly and reducing mortality.
Stronger, Deeper Root Systems
Quick access to phosphorus promotes rapid root growth, leading to stronger, healthier root systems that absorb more nutrients and water, making plants more resilient to stress.
Thicker Stands, Fewer Weeds
By supporting faster root and leaf development, Nitro-NP™ encourages dense grass stands, creating a natural barrier that crowds out weeds.
