UAN (Urea Ammonium Nitrate) solutions offer flexible, efficient nitrogen delivery — but they also expose nitrogen to multiple loss risks immediately after application. ARM UAN™ is specifically formulated to protect UAN solutions, combining urease and nitrification inhibition technologies into a single, easy-to-use stabilizer that maximizes nitrogen use efficiency across your entire fertility program. Designed for modern farming systems, ARM UAN™ ensures more of the nitrogen you apply goes into building crops — not disappearing into the atmosphere or groundwater, optimizing your UAN fertility.
Why UAN Needs Special Protection
UAN is a blended nitrogen source made up of: 50% urea (solid nitrogen), 25% ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺), and 25% nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻). This mixture is vulnerable to multiple losses: Ammonia volatilization (from the urea component), Leaching (from the nitrate component), Denitrification (from nitrate in saturated soils). Without protection, a significant portion of UAN nitrogen can be lost before crops can access it — particularly when broadcast without immediate incorporation.
How ARM UAN™ Works
ARM UAN™ combines NBPT (to slow urease enzyme, reducing surface ammonia volatilization) and DMPP (to inhibit nitrification, reducing nitrate formation and leaching/denitrification risks). This dual-action approach protects both the urea and ammonium components of UAN simultaneously, giving growers peace of mind that their nitrogen is protected across all loss pathways, enhancing UAN fertility.
Key Features and Benefits
Designed specifically for use with UAN 28–32% liquid fertilizer, Reduces surface volatilization losses, Reduces nitrate leaching losses below the soil surface, Improves nitrogen recovery efficiency and yield potential, Flexible rates and easy integration into UAN management systems, Supports better timing flexibility (pre-plant, side-dress, top-dress).

Application Guidelines
Target Fertilizers: UAN 28–32%. Application Method: Add ARM UAN™ directly into UAN storage tanks or mix immediately before field application. Application Rates: Will be based on liters per tonne of UAN (final rates pending label). Always agitate tanks before and during application for even distribution.
Trial Data
Your UAN Is Leaving.
Your Margin With It.
Independent university research confirms 15–32% of unprotected UAN volatilizes before your crop sees it. That's not a risk factor. That's a recurring line item you're not billing for.
Surface-band UAN at 2–3 cm lost up to 32% of applied nitrogen. Even at 5 cm+, losses exceeded 10%.
20 lbs N/ac lost = ~7 bushels of canola gone. On a quarter section, that's $14,500 into the atmosphere.
Fall-applied UAN treated with ARM UAN cut NH₃ loss from 9.2 to 3.2 kg/ha — and added yield.
What You Believe vs. What the Data Shows
Four assumptions that are quietly costing you money.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Based on wheat requiring 2.4 lb N/bu and canola 2.8 lb N/bu. Sources: FCC, Alberta Grains, SK Ministry yield-response curves (2025).
Dual-Action Protection
ARM UAN addresses both pathways of nitrogen loss — above ground and below ground.
Stops the Gas Escape
Slows the enzymatic breakdown of urea into ammonia. Keeps band pH below the critical volatilization threshold. The reaction stays controlled — nitrogen stays in the soil.
Holds N in the Root Zone
Slows microbial conversion of ammonium to nitrate. Keeps nitrogen plant-available longer. Reduces both leaching and N₂O emissions.
Independent University Results
53% reduction in volatilization
41.6 → 44.9 bu/ac
65% reduction in volatilization
28.9 → 29.6 bu/ac
3rd party research: University of Manitoba & University of Winnipeg. 75 kg N/ha applied as UAN, treated with 1.2 L/tonne ARM UAN 18% NBPT. 2018 average yield data.
$10/ac Treatment. Look at the Return.
ROI at 70% loss reduction by untreated loss level
At the realistic 20–25% loss range for most prairie conditions, you get $2–$3 back for every $1 spent.
If You're Not Protecting Your UAN,
You're Not Protecting Your Margin.
Nitrogen loss isn't a debate. It's a measured, recurring reality. The only question is whether you keep absorbing it — or stop it for $10 an acre.
