n-rich

What is n-rich?

N-rich is Ballance's own urea blend, either made right here in New Zealand at the ammonia-urea manufacturing plant in Kapuni, or sourced from quality suppliers overseas. Regardless of its source, n-rich urea comprises hard, evenly sized, smooth granules for easy spreading.

Why choose n-rich?

Nitrogen is a key driver of plant growth, and when used strategically and responsibly, it can be a very effective tool for enhancing farm productivity. N-rich urea can be used to promote growth in order to fill in gaps in feed supply. It also has a role to play in hill country, especially on sunny slopes where the clover content is low - applying n-rich can boost grass growth by increasing the soil N content. N-rich urea is also suitable for supplying the N requirements of a wide range of horticultural and arable crops. N-rich ammo is a good choice if soil sulphate sulphur levels are low, for example, if the land has suffered from heavy rain. The sulphur in n-rich ammo will help support the growth of grass species and clovers, and enable them to respond better to the nitrogen.

  • N-rich is a Fertmark-registered product, giving you assurance that what’s on the label is what’s in the bag.

Using n-rich

  • The n-rich range of products is most frequently used alone, but they can be blended with certain other fertilisers.
  • N-rich products are compatible with potash and SOA (sulphate of ammonia).
  • N-rich products should not be mixed with sulphur gain, pasturezeal G2 or superten. These mixes are at risk of becoming wet and lumpy, which will result in poor spreading and problems for spreading equipment.
  • N-rich products may be mixed with Serpentine Super, triple super, DAP (diammonium phosphate), Calmag and lime, but such mixes should not be stored and must be spread immediately upon receipt.
  • N-rich products should be stored in cool, dry conditions. Exposure to moisture, e.g. rain, puddles, high humidity, will cause the products to deteriorate, which will make spreading difficult.
