Limus is an advanced chemical coating technology developed by BASF Germany, applied directly to standard white urea granules. Scientifically classified as a 'Urease Inhibitor,' its mechanism is highly effective. Naturally occurring urease enzymes in the soil rapidly break down standard urea into gas, causing immediate nitrogen loss. Limus technology actively blocks the activity of these enzymes. As a result, the urea is not lost to the air; instead, it dissolves gradually through a slow-release mechanism, remaining steadily available to the plant's root system.
The adoption of this technology delivers substantial benefits for crop health, financial savings, and overall yield. Compared to standard urea, nitrogen loss is reduced by up to 30%. While standard urea depletes in the soil within 7 to 8 days, Limus Treated Urea provides a continuous, uninterrupted nitrogen supply for 14 to 20 days. This sustained nutrition ensures the wheat crop does not turn yellow, promotes optimal plant height, drives excellent tillering, and produces thicker, heavier grains. By securing continuous nutrition during critical growth stages, the plant remains healthier, guaranteeing a visible increase in per-acre yield. Furthermore, it is highly cost-effective, as a single bag of Limus Treated Urea delivers the equivalent agricultural output of 1.5 bags of standard urea.
