Ammonia Volatilization from Unincorporated, Surface-Applied UAN on Alkaline Soils
If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
Under normal conditions, ammonia volatilization from surface application of urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) tends to be lower than surface application of urea. It’s important that farmers are well acquainted with situations when surface-broadcast of UAN results in above average ammonia loss, and in some instances greater losses than urea. This fact sheet provides information on situations where ammonia loss from unincorporated, surface-applied UAN exceeds traditional losses.
