Agrotain ready for European Union

St. Louis-Agrotain International reports that effective Nov. 28, final registration procedures were completed to clear the way for use of its AGROTAIN® technology in all 27 member states of the European Union. As early as the 2009 growing season, Agrotain technology will be available in select countries of the EU-27 in AMIPLUS fertilizer from Yara International. The company says AMIPLUS could have an important role for growers of maize, wheat, rice, pasture, and other agricultural crops. Agrotain is a nitrogen stabilizer that reduces volatilization and creates opportunities for increased crop productivity by preventing nitrogen losses. The technology helps growers gain the most from their fertilizer investment by controlling volatilization of urea and UAN fertilizers. The 27 EU countries join a roster of more than 70 countries that now have access to Agrotain.
