Introducing Kynoplus Pro® – The Solution to Urea Volatility

Urea is a cost-effective nitrogen source, but significant nitrogen losses can occur due to volatilisation. Recognising this challenge, Kynoch previously introduced Kynoplus. Now, through further innovation and enhancement, we present Kynoplus Pro®, offering even greater benefits. Kynoplus Pro is powered by Anvol and contains two active ingredients, Duromite and NBPT.

Important Benefits

KynoPlus Pro Profile

Liquid Fertilizer

Our clear liquid range of products has two categories, NPK-blends and single Nitrogen products. Concentrations of blends for the first group range from 10 to 26% and the second, between 19 to 32%. Due to differences in manufacturing, the liquid fertilizers are divided into a general liquid range of products suitable for centre pivots, or not. The distinction is also made with regards to Specialty groups, namely the Opti- and the AquaTech-range of products. Some blends contain S, Ca and/or Mg and micronutrients can also be added.

Suitable for centre pivots

This range includes a variety of blends and straights where the pH is acceptable for use in centre pivots with the proviso, that sufficient water is applied to dilute the

fertilizer whilst it flows through the system. These products may have a low pH as concentrated solutions, but they increase when mixed with water at the volumes applied by a pivot.

Tractor Applications

These products are very acidic and the pH stays low, even when diluted with large amounts of water. Therefore, these products are most suitable for use as planting blends, in other words, applied with a planter (applicator) into the soil.

The Opti-range of products

This is our flagship range of liquid products which incorporate an uptake enhancer, for increased yield over equivalent products which do not include the enhancer. They are mainly used for fertigation.

The AquaTech-range

This is a specialised low chloride range primarily containing N, P and K, but some may also contain Ca, Mg or S.

Addition of micronutrients

Liquid micronutrients, i.e. Zn, Cu, Mn in chelated form, as well as B, could be added to liquid fertilizer.

Premium Granular Products

Kynoch’s Premium Granular Products are unique and innovative products that are enhanced beyond the standard granular products. The products were developed to increase performance and efficiency. This is achieved through the raw material choice, nutrient combinations and nutrient content.

Ultra Starter® is a dry, premium granular fertilizer formulated with high quality raw materials. The granules are coated with a highly concentrated micro-element formulation. The micro-element coating provides plant-available zinc, iron, manganese, copper and boron. Ultra Starter contains additional sulfur and magnesium, as well as a specialized potassium source that has a lower salt index.

Crops require all of the essential elements for optimal growth, development, and production. Micro-elements are an important component of these essential elements. The Ultra Range is an efficient way to follow a balanced nutritional approach.

There are a number of conditions that can result in micro-element deficiencies. The Ultra Range contributes by providing additional required nutrition. Fertilizer typically causes an acidified zone in the band. Micro-elements in this acidified zone remain available for a longer period for plant uptake, especially in higher pH soils.

The Miracle™ Range was specifically developed to improve the efficacy of the nutrients and to supply most or all of the essential nutrients. Different raw materials, supplying macronutrients are used to manage and enhance their performance. Potential volatilization losses, phosphate fixation and chloride levels are managed. All the products contain nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, but also sulphur, calcium, magnesium, zinc and silicon. Silicon helps the plants to manage stressful situations.

Available in the following products: Blitz™, Bolt™, Brio®, Esprit®, Finesse®, Panache®, Prelude™, Zest®

Biostimulants

Plant biostimulants have many benefits including enhancing nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to stress, crop performance and crop quality. Plant biostimulants are any substance or microorganism from a natural origin that stimulates the plant’s natural processes to enhance crop production. The products can be applied directly to the plant or the soil (rhizosphere). Biostimulants act on the plants’ metabolic and enzymatic processes.

Worldwide biostimulants are becoming more and more important. Kynoch introduced its range of biostimulants to benefit the farmers.

KynoHumate – Black^™

KynoHumate^™ is used as a soil amendment and stimulates root development and growth. KynoHumate^™ contains humic acids that have many benefits for the soil environment and plant metabolism. It forms an important part of soil biology and serves as a source of energy for microorganisms. One of the major benefits is the retention of nutrients against leaching and the increase in nutrient availability. Humates help the plants tolerate salinity stress.

KynoFulvate – Yellow^™

KynoFulvate^™ stimulates plant growth and promotes nutrient uptake. It can be used applied either as a foliar or directly to the soil application and can be combined with other fertilizer products. KynoFulvate^™ contains fulvic acids. Fulvates can be absorbed by plants and seeds and have a direct effect on many plant processes. Among other things they improve seed germination, increasing the energy levels and increase membrane permeability. Complexes are formed with nutrients within the soil that mobilize these nutrients. While within the plant the nutrient movement (membrane permeability) is increased. Both promote nutrient uptake.

KynoKelp^™

KynoKelp^™ is seaweed suspension containing natural macro and micro elements that can be used as a foliar application or root application. It is derived from the kelp species Ecklonia maxima, which grows along the Atlantic coast of Southern Africa. Kynokelp^™ encourages the growth of plant roots. The improved root growth increases nutrient absorption and water use. Higher yields are produced by established, stronger plants. The plants experience extreme stress while producing fruit, which Kynokelp^™ can help manage. Kynokelp^™ aids plants in managing additional stress factors that could restrict growth.

Safety Data Sheets - SDS Sheq

1. I have low pH soil, so volatilisation is less of a concern

Low pH does not prevent volatilisation

Research shows that urea volatilises even in low-pH soils. While higher pH levels accelerate the process, significant nitrogen losses still occur at low pH. Kynoplus Pro® reduces these losses to just 4%, ensuring more nitrogen remains available for plant uptake. (Federal University of Santa Maria, 2020)

2. We don’t experience extremely high temperatures

Temperature affects volatilisation

The higher the temperature, the greater the volatilisation. Tests conducted at 28°C and 38°C demonstrated that losses were significant even at 28°C. However, Kynoplus Pro® reduced these losses by up to 79%, ensuring efficient nitrogen utilisation, regardless of temperature. (Federal University of Santa Maria, 2021)

3. Fertiliser is applied to dry soil, so losses are minimal

Dry soil does not guarantee lower losses

There is a misconception that urea does not volatilise when applied to dry soil. Studies indicate that as little as 3mm of moisture can trigger the volatilisation process. In research trials, fertiliser was left on the soil surface for 60 days before receiving 3mm of moisture. Even after this period, Kynoplus Pro® reduced nitrogen losses by 78%. (Federal University of Santa Maria, 2024)

4. We irrigate immediately after application

Irrigation alone is not enough

Irrigation alone is not enough
Some farmers believe that irrigation completely prevents urea volatilisation. However, tests show that even with 10mm of irrigation, significant nitrogen losses still occur. Kynoplus Pro® provides more effective protection against these losses. (Federal University of Santa Maria, 2022)

5. Fertiliser is incorporated into the soil

Incorporation does not always prevent losses

While some assume that incorporating urea into the soil eliminates volatilisation, research reveals that even with 5cm of tillage, considerable nitrogen losses still take place. Kynoplus Pro® further minimises these losses, making more nitrogen available for plant uptake. (Federal University of Santa Maria, 2022)

6. I simply apply more fertiliser to compensate

More urea is not the solution

A common misconception is that higher urea applications can compensate for losses. However, research shows that increased concentrations accelerate the volatilisation process, leading to even greater nitrogen losses. In trials, losses increased from 36% at 30kg N/ha to 52% at 150kg N/ha. With Kynoplus Pro®, you can reduce nitrogen losses and improve yield efficiency. (Zheng et al., 2018, Biology and Fertility of Soils, 54: 411-422)

7. I use ammonium nitrate instead

Enhanced nitrogen uptake and higher yields

Trials indicate that plants absorb higher nitrogen levels when Kynoplus Pro® is used compared to other nitrogen sources. This leads to improved crop nutrition and ultimately higher yields for farmers. (Otto et al., Foundation for Agricultural and Forestry Studies and Research, 2022)

Maximise Your Nitrogen – Maximise Your Yield

The data clearly shows that the benefits of Kynoplus Pro® extend to improved crop yields. This impact is evident across various nitrogen application rates and growing seasons.
Research confirms that urea volatilisation remains a significant challenge under multiple conditions. Kynoplus Pro® provides a proven solution to minimise losses and maximise yields. Don’t accept nitrogen losses as unavoidable—Kynoplus Pro® is the key to efficient nitrogen use and improved profitability!
