UAN-28, Ukraine

Neuron offers UAN 28 with quality assurance from leading global manufacturers, provides support from professional agronomists, and ensures delivery at a convenient time for the client throughout Ukraine.

What are the advantages of UAN 28 from Neuron

The main advantage of UAN 28 lies in its ability to comprehensively meet plant nitrogen needs at different growth stages. The amide form of nitrogen (50%) ensures long-term nutrition — it decomposes slowly, guaranteeing plant feeding throughout the entire growing season.

The ammonium (25%) and nitrate (25%) forms provide rapid nitrogen uptake, which is critical during active growth and the formation of productive organs. This fertilizer is a clear solution with a density of about 1.28 g/cm³ and an alkaline pH of around 8.5, which increases solution stability and safety for plants.

Thanks to its resistance to freezing (down to –18 °C), UAN 28 can be stored and transported even in cold weather without concerns about quality loss. The fertilizer dissolves quickly in water and mixes well with other products, allowing its use in tank mixes with crop protection agents and micronutrients.

Another important advantage is the absence of free ammonia, which makes application safe for plants — eliminating leaf burn, preserving soil structure, and reducing environmental impact. Neuron offers UAN 28 at competitive market prices and provides flexible supply options: from small orders to large batches.

Application of UAN 28 for different crops

UAN 28 is widely used in agriculture both for feeding main cereal crops and for technical, leguminous, vegetable, and fruit crops.

For cereals such as wheat, barley, and rye, the fertilizer is applied at early tillering and stem elongation stages, promoting the development of a strong root system and leaf apparatus. Active nitrogen supply during these phases increases both the quantity and quality of grain and improves its protein composition.

For corn, UAN 28 is recommended at the stages of active stem and leaf growth as well as during kernel formation, positively affecting yield and product quality.

For sunflower and rapeseed, the fertilizer is used during head formation and opening, while in legumes it supports nitrogen balance and stimulates nitrogen fixation.

In vegetable farming, UAN 28 is applied to root and leafy crops, increasing yields, improving taste qualities, and extending storage life.

The fertilizer is also suitable for fruit and berry plantations, providing nutrition during periods of active shoot growth and fruiting.

Foliar application of UAN 28 allows quick compensation for nitrogen deficiency during unfavorable weather conditions, enhances plant resistance to stress, and increases productivity.

Environmental safety of UAN 28

Environmental safety is a key factor determining the suitability of UAN 28 for modern agriculture.

The main challenge with nitrogen fertilizers is high nutrient losses and negative environmental impact. According to FAO data, nitrogen losses from traditional dry fertilizers can reach 30–50% due to ammonia volatilization, nitrate leaching into groundwater, and denitrification, leading to water pollution and greenhouse gas (N2O) emissions.

With UAN 28 it is different:

1. Thanks to its unique formula (50% amide nitrogen, 25% ammonium, and 25% nitrate), it significantly reduces nitrogen losses.
2. The amide form does not volatilize and decomposes gradually in the soil, ensuring long-term plant nutrition.
3. Studies show that the use of UAN 28 reduces ammonia volatilization by 25–40% compared to ammonium nitrate application, lowering environmental impact and saving fertilizer.
4. The absence of free ammonia makes UAN 28 application safe for plants, reducing the risk of leaf and root burns often seen with ammonia-based fertilizers.
5. Additionally, UAN 28 has a low denitrification potential, meaning reduced emissions of N2O greenhouse gas, which is 298 times more potent than CO2. Lowering N2O emissions helps fight global warming and protect the climate.
6. According to Ukrainian agricultural laboratories, when applied within recommended rates, UAN 28 does not cause significant changes in soil acidity (pH remains within 6.5–7.5), maintaining optimal conditions for soil microorganisms and biological processes essential for fertility.

Neuron controls logistics and storage conditions of the fertilizer, ensuring quality stability: transportation and storage temperature is strictly maintained from -18 to +30 °C, with protection from direct sunlight and other necessary measures. This prevents decomposition and nutrient loss.

Thus, UAN 28 combines high nutritional efficiency with minimal environmental impact, making it an optimal choice for farmers aiming to combine productivity with environmental responsibility.

4. Partnership with Neuron allows optimizing crop nutrition costs and increasing agricultural efficiency.

How to choose the right UAN 28 fertilizer

The correct choice of rate and timing for UAN 28 application depends on crop type, growth stage, agronomic conditions, and soil characteristics.

Recommended application rates:

1. Pre-sowing application: 20–40 l/ha to stimulate seedling growth and improve early development.
2. Top-dressing during vegetation: 30–60 l/ha to ensure steady growth and productive organ formation.
3. Foliar application: 10–15 l/ha (diluted) for quick correction of nutrition in case of nitrogen deficiency.

Before mixing with other products, a compatibility test should be performed. If needed, Neuron provides agronomic support and recommendations, helping increase fertilizer efficiency and avoid application errors.
