AGROTAIN is an urease inhibitor that is used with urea or urea based fertilizers to retard or essentially stop the hydrolysis of urea which is catalyzed by the urease enzyme for as much as fourteen days. The net beneficial effect of the use of AGROTAIN is to reduce the loss of ammonia by volatilization when urea is used in surface applications.
AGROTAIN is the registered trademark for NBPT or N-(n-butyl)-thiophosphoric triamide which is contained in solvent and a green dye.
