Piadin

With Piadin the nitrogen in slurry is better utilised. Less nitrogen is leached meaning the crops can absorb more. This means more nitrogen stays available for the crops with the same amount of slurry. This results in a higher yield.

Slurry nitrogen consists of ammoniacal nitrogen and organically fixed nitrogen. The ammoniacal nitrogen is converted into nitrate nitrogen in the soil. Piadin slows down this conversion. Piadin deactivates the bacteria that are responsible for this conversion (nitrification). Nitrate nitrogen has the disadvantage of quickly being leached to the groundwater and can easily be converted into nitrogen gas (N2), meaning it is lost for crop utilisation. When you add Piadin to  slurry, you prevent the loss of nitrate nitrogen. The valuable nitrogen in the slurry will, therefore, remains  longer in the rootzone and becomes available as nitrate nitrogen when the crop needs it.
