6 APPLICATION RATES APPLICATION RATES: Mix ARM U with urea fertilizer before application to the soil.

5 L ARM U /1000 L UAN solution. Fill spray tank with half the desired amount of UAN, Measure the recommended quantity of Arm U and add to the tank. Mix well.

For uniform blending, use a blender with impregnation equipment. Weigh the urea and transfer to blender. Add the required amount of ARM U to the urea in the blender.

6 6 APPLICATION RATES APPLICATION RATES: Mix ARM U with urea fertilizer before application to the soil. Suitable for use at any time during the crop cycle (pre-plant, pre-emergence, side dress, top dress). BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS: BLENDING INTO UREA-AMMONIUM NITRATE (UAN) SOLUTIONS: Use 1.5 L ARM U /1000 L UAN solution. Fill spray tank with half the desired amount of UAN, Measure the recommended quantity of Arm U and add to the tank. Mix well. Add other products at this stage, if needed. Add the second half of the UAN solution. Continue mixing until well blended. BLENDING INTO UREA: Use 2 L ARM U /1000 kg Urea. For uniform blending, use a blender with impregnation equipment. Weigh the urea and transfer to blender. Add the required amount of ARM U to the urea in the blender. Blend until the ARM U is uniformly mixed into the urea. Do not add any other fertilizer materials until ARM U is thoroughly distributed. If mixture appears wet or sticky, a drying agent may be added at this time.

23 Why ARM U is a Better NBPT Choice Unlike all other NBPT formulations, ARM U s proprietary formulation contains several components that provide targeted attributes important to all urea handlers

23 23 Why ARM U is a Better NBPT Choice Unlike all other NBPT formulations, ARM U s proprietary formulation contains several components that provide targeted attributes important to all urea handlers and users. ARM U s superior coverage is due to specific polymers and other spreader molecules that provide uniform coverage without urea aggregation or sticking. Superior coverage increases NBPT activity through increased binding rates to urease enzymes. This increased activity allows for both a lower NBPT concentration to be used and a lower application rate while maintaining efficacy. In addition, ARM U is formulated to have a high buffering capacity to ensure the solution ph remains below 7 at all times. Maintaining a solution ph of 7 has several important impacts. First, it protects against direct NBPT breakdown and volatilization of N as ammonia and the associated hazardous fumes. Second, without NBPT breakdown and volatilization, urea users realize the full dose of the 26 nitrogen present in the NBPT molecule. Last, ph 7 assures the long term stability of NBPT molecules to continue to stop urease activity over time.
