Limus® – For Improved Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Limus® supports optimal nitrogen availability for more consistent yields. Proven to reduce nitrogen loss by as much as 98 percent, Limus® is based on a novel formulation that contains two active ingredients for blocking active sites of soil urease enzymes.
Limus® optimal nitrogen availability for more consistent yields. Proven to reduce nitrogen loss by as much as 98 percent, Limus® is based on a multi-patented novel formulation that contains two active ingredients for blocking active sites of soil urease enzymes.
One of the three primary plant nutrients, nitrogen is the engine of plant growth. It is required in large quantities throughout the growing season for the best plant outcomes. The challenge for growers is minimizing nitrogen loss to protect yields and the environment.
Limus® has two urease inhibitors that together are more effective on the range of soil urease enzymes than a single inhibitor. Greater urea protection leads to improved nitrogen availability during critical crop-growth stages for more consistent yields
Limus® brings solutions to those in the fertilizer market who face operational challenges in the transportation, application, storage and handling of urea-based fertilizers. The Limus® formulation’s stability and urea protection provide a longer storage time and greater transportation flexibility under a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions.
Added protection from volatilization loss means improved nitrogen application flexibility. This provides improved significant opportunity for efficiency and flexibility in growers’ nitrogen-management programs.

Urease is an extracellular enzyme found in all soils that can bind to urea and hydrolyze it into ammonia gas. Limus® urease inhibitors bind to the urease active site, preventing urea hydrolysis and reducing ammonia formation. Its combination of two active ingredients enables Limus® to be more effective against a wide range of urease characteristics.
