Help Your Hay with Nitro-Maxx+

Help Your Hay with Nitro-Maxx+

Help Your Hay with Nitro-Maxx+

Every year, farmers spend thousands on dry nitrogen and urea, only to watch a huge portion of it disappear before their crops can even use it. Standard urea can cost up to $600 per ton, evaporates quickly, binds up in the soil, and can even burn vegetation, leaving behind uneven fields and lost potential. For hay farmers, this means wasted money, patchy growth, and lower yields. Help your hay with Nitro-Maxx+! AgriTec’s slow-release liquid nitrogen solution provides all the benefits of nitrogen application without the common downsides of dry urea.

AgriTec’s Nitro-Maxx+ is designed to slowly release nitrogen over time, Nitro-Maxx+ ensures that your crops get exactly what they need, when they need it, without excessive loss or risk of burning.

Why Standard Urea Fails Hay

Dry nitrogen, such as urea, has been the industry standard for decades. However, farmers have long been frustrated with its inefficiency. Here’s why:

  • High Volatility: A large percentage of urea is lost to the atmosphere before it can be absorbed by plants.
  • Soil Tie-Up: Urea often binds to the soil before plants can use it, rendering much of the applied nitrogen useless.
  • Risk of Burn: When applied incorrectly, urea can burn hay, causing uneven growth and reduced productivity.
  • Cost Inefficiency: With so much nitrogen evaporating or becoming unavailable, farmers must apply more product, increasing costs.

Hay farmers need a nitrogen source that provides maximum uptake with minimal waste. That’s where Nitro-Maxx+ comes in.

Smarter Nitrogen Application

Nitro-Maxx+ delivers the same power as dry nitrogen but with significantly more efficiency and added benefits. Unlike traditional nitrogen fertilizers, Nitro-Maxx+ uses slow-release technology, preventing dissipation and ensuring your hay absorbs the maximum amount of nutrients.

Key Benefits of Nitro-Maxx+ for Hay Farmers:

  • Fast Acting & Long Lasting – Unlike dry urea, Nitro-Maxx+ provides immediate nitrogen availability while continuing to release nutrients over time for sustained growth.
  • No Burn Risk – Thanks to its slow-release formulation, Nitro-Maxx+ eliminates the risk of nitrogen burn, ensuring even growth and optimal production.
  • Reduces Nitrogen Loss – With up to 6-7 times the availability compared to dry nitrogen, more of the applied nitrogen actually reaches your hay.
  • Improves Plant Health & DensityNitro-Maxx+ supports stronger root systems, thicker hay stands, and more resilient crops, reducing the number of thin or patchy areas in fields.
  • Enriched with Micronutrients & Prebiotics – Unlike traditional urea, Nitro-Maxx+ contains calcium, sulfur, amino acids, humic acid, and micronutrients to promote healthier plants and higher yields.
  • Cost Savings – With lower application rates and reduced nitrogen loss, Nitro-Maxx+ helps farmers save an estimated $12 per acre compared to dry urea.

What’s Inside Nitro-Maxx+?

Nitro-Maxx+ isn’t just nitrogen—it’s a comprehensive plant nutrition solution. Each gallon contains:

  • 20% Total Nitrogen (N) – Provides slow-release nitrogen for prolonged plant uptake.
  • 4.0% Calcium (Ca) – Strengthens cell walls and supports plant development.
  • 0.32% Sodium (Na) – Enhances nutrient uptake and soil structure.
  • 0.02% Magnesium (Mg) – Aids in chlorophyll production and energy transfer.
  • 0.02% Zinc (Zn) – Essential for enzyme function and growth regulation.
  • 0.20% Sulfur (S) – Enhances protein formation and soil structure.

How Nitro-Maxx+ Helps Hay

Applying Nitro-Maxx+ at the right time ensures optimal nitrogen absorption and robust hay production. The extended-release formula means plants receive a steady supply of nutrients throughout the growth cycle.

Application Timing:

  • Early Spring: Apply Nitro-Maxx+ after the first green-up to promote strong early-season growth.
  • After Each Cutting: Reapply after each hay cutting to replenish lost nutrients and encourage faster regrowth.
  • Drought Conditions: Nitro-Maxx+ improves nutrient availability even in dry conditions, keeping hay greener and more resilient.

Application Methods:

  • Broadcast Sprayer (Boom or Flood System)
  • Pivot or Alternative Irrigation Systems
  • In-Furrow Through Planter
  • Aerial Application

Real Farmers, Real Results

“I was pretty skeptical when I got my first drum of Nitro-Maxx+, but I have to say I am impressed. That stuff really works well. Even with the lack of rain, all my stuff is still green.” Raymond, TX2023 “The Nitro-Maxx+ product worked great, our hay was a lot thicker.” Jerry, NC Jerry, NC2024 “Man, I was blown away by the green-up that I got when I put the Nitro-Maxx+ on my pasture ground. My neighbor that mows my pasture for me said I could hay it if I want, and it was the best pasture in this area.” Marsia, NC Marsia, NC2024 “We were very pleased with the Nitro-Maxx+ on our hay and the 3-18-18+ on our alfalfa. It was a hot and dry summer, but we were still able to pull off some good cuttings.” Mark, MI Mark, MI2023

Frequently asked questions

How does Nitro-Maxx+ improve hay yield?

Nitro-Maxx+ is a slow-release liquid nitrogen designed to feed the crop across a longer window than dry urea, which reduces burn, volatilization, and leaching losses. In a Tuskegee hay trial, Nitro-Maxx+ at 6 gal/ac delivered a 106 percent biomass gain over the untreated control and lifted crude protein by 2.21 percentage points.

Spring green-up is typically 4 to 6 gal/ac with a 6 gal start. Optional post-cut re-feed at 3 to 4 gal/ac keeps regrowth moving where moisture supports response. The full program pairs Nitro-Maxx+ with 0-0-30 liquid potassium so the stand isn’t mining soil K every cutting.

How does Nitro-Maxx+ compare to dry urea on hay?

Nitro-Maxx+ delivers up to 6 to 7 times the available nitrogen per pound applied compared with dry urea, with less volatilization and reduced burn risk. The slow-release pattern matches forage regrowth windows instead of dumping a flush that drops the stand into a crash. Estimated savings of $12 per acre at typical rates and prices.

Will Nitro-Maxx+ improve hay protein?

Yes, in the Tuskegee trial Nitro-Maxx+ raised crude protein by 2.21 percentage points. Crude protein is what pays in cow-calf and dairy markets — a protein lift translates directly to feed value and pricing on quality-tested hay.

How do I prove Nitro-Maxx+ paid back on my farm?

Run treated and untreated strips on a representative hay field. Measure bales per acre and average bale weight; if you sell on quality, run a forage test for crude protein and TDN. Break-even at $200/ton hay is roughly 0.27 to 0.32 ton/ac on a Nitro-Maxx+ 6 + 0-0-30 3 program.
