DeVries continued, "SuperU is a granular urea fertilizer  that maintains a 46-0-0 analysis. It is a blue granule that is uniform for spreading and it is treated all the way through, not just a coating. It is soluble in water, identical to urea, and available to your crop once it is hydrolyzed."

Super U:

• contains a urease inhibitor (NBPT) to control volatilization losses for 10-14 days or more; 
• contains a nitrification inhibitor (DCD) to reduce the potential for denitrification and leaching;
• maintains a higher level of ammonium nitrogen (which is the positively charged and more stable form of N) for a longer period of time;
• improves the potential for plants to feed on the ammonium. 

These properties reduce N loss in a pre-plant application, but can also benefit the crop on light textured soils in a side-dress application. 

DeVries pointed out that not only does SuperU reduce N loss into the environment, but it can add bushels to your crop with minimized N loss in the soil, and maximized yields at harvest.
