All fields are not created equal when it comes to nitrogen loss. Differences in elevation, slope, drainage, catchment, and saturation create environments where nitrogen is far more likely to be lost through denitrification and leaching. In fact, some areas within a field can carry up to four times greater risk than others.

Despite this variability, nitrogen stabilizers are often applied uniformly—if they’re applied at all. By identifying where nitrogen loss risk is highest, we can shift from blanket protection to a targeted, sub-acre strategy that improves efficiency, protects yield, and maximizes return on investment.

If nitrogen loss is predictable, why do we protect every acre the same way?

Visualizing Nitrogen Risk and Response

Field-level data reveals how water moves across the landscape—and where nitrogen loss risk concentrates. The result is a more efficient nitrogen protection strategy that aligns product placement with environmental risk.

  • Soil Wetness Index (SWI) highlights areas prone to saturation and water movement
  • Nitrogen Loss Potential identifies environments at greater risk for denitrification and leaching
  • Spatial N Protectant Rx places stabilizer where protection is needed most—and reduces rates where risk is lower

  • Nitrogen loss is environment-dependent. Denitrification, volatilization, and leaching risks vary across fields, depending on slope, soil type, organic matter, and water movement.
  • Tailored stabilizer rates can improve outcomes. Adjusting your stabilizer application based on N loss risk can improve efficiency and ROI, while reducing over- or under-application.
  • Sub-acre prescriptions help protect yield. Under-applying stabilizer in high-risk zones can result in yield losses of up to 20 bu/A—that’s $80/A in missed revenue at $4 corn.
  • Sustainability benefits are measurable. Spatial strategies have shown 21% lower N₂O emissions in vulnerable environments, supporting lower carbon intensity.
