Enhancing Nitrogen Efficiency and Sustainability with Nutrisphere

As agriculture’s demands continue to grow, so too does the need for more sustainable and efficient nutrient management. Nutrisphere, an innovative nitrogen stabiliser from Verdesian Life Sciences, is leading the way by helping farmers maximise fertiliser efficiency while minimising environmental impacts. 

Nutrisphere is designed to tackle the three major pathways of nitrogen loss — volatilisation, denitrification, and leaching — ensuring more nitrogen stays in the soil to support healthy, productive crops. 

Addressing Nitrogen Loss at Every Stage

Nitrogen loss not only undermines crop yields but also affects air and water quality. Nutrisphere uses a unique combination of technologies, including metal ion sequestration and microzone pH control, to retain nitrogen within the soil profile for longer, reducing the environmental footprint of fertiliser use. 

Independent research has validated Nutrisphere’s performance across multiple trials: 

Volatilisation Control:

A laboratory trial conducted at University College Dublin showed that Nutrisphere cut ammonia emissions by 86% over 20 days. This was further confirmed by a real-world field trial with ADAS at Gleadthorpe, which reported a 78% reduction in ammonia loss compared to untreated urea.

Denitrification Mitigation:

In a cotton field trial by California State University, Fresno, Nutrisphere reduced nitrous oxide emissions by more than 50%. By limiting microbial denitrification, Nutrisphere helps to reduce greenhouse gas outputs while preserving available soil nitrogen for crop uptake.  

Leaching Reduction:
Leaching trials at the John Innes Centre demonstrated that nitrate concentrations in the deeper soil layers were up to 75% lower when Nutrisphere was used. A field study by Niab at Salle Farms also showed a 14% average reduction in tile drain nitrate concentrations throughout the spring season.  

Supporting Productivity and Environmental Stewardship

Nutrisphere not only boosts fertiliser effectiveness but also plays an important role in environmental compliance by helping to meet regulations around nitrogen emissions and water quality protection.  

With fertiliser prices remaining high and sustainability becoming an ever-greater priority, Nutrisphere provides farmers with a proven way to maximise returns on fertiliser investments while protecting vital natural resources.  

Validated by Leading Research 

With a track record of success backed by institutions such as University College Dublin, the John Innes Centre, California State University, and Niab, Nutrisphere has been awarded CE mark accreditation under EU Regulation 2019/1009 as a certified urease inhibitor. 

For farmers and agronomists looking to adopt more sustainable practices without sacrificing yield potential, Nutrisphere offers a practical, science-backed solution that is ready for immediate deployment.
