Nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth, is the most frequently limiting element in agricultural soils. Nitrogen is required in higher amounts than any other element (besides carbon, hydrogen and oxygen), as it is an important element of many biochemical components including proteins, amino acids and nucleic acids. The N-HIB® technology largely inhibits nitrification and seeks to reduce the losses of nitrogen fertilizer applied to the soil; N-Amine + Ca + B + N-HiB® as a source of Nitrogen, and of other elements such as Calcium and Boron, has shown great efficiency to maintain the stability of the applied Nitrogen for a longer time and allow the plant to absorb more and better , this fundamental nutrient. What is exposed here are the response of various trials and tests over time in different crops, places and countries, which partly solves the needs of the adequate management of soil nitrogen fertilization, in the production of crops, these experiences are the engine of agriculture in this new century, friendly to the environment and sustainable for the producer.
