Ampliqan® Perform is a new-generation nitrification inhibitor based on DMPSA-K₂. By temporarily slowing the conversion of ammonium into nitrate, nitrogen remains longer available to the crop. Potatoes utilize on average only 55% of the available nitrogen, which can result in losses through nitrate leaching and N₂O emissions (https://duurzaambemesten.be/). Ampliqan® Perform can reduce this leaching by up to 35% and N₂O emissions by up to 50%, improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) while reducing environmental impact.

Added value for the user (in commercial terms, user-friendliness ...)
Ampliqan® Perform is a new nitrification inhibitor based on DMPSA-K₂ that keeps nitrogen available to the crop for longer. More specifically, Ampliqan® Perform reduces nitrogen losses through nitrate leaching (up to 35%) and N₂O emissions (up to 50%). This enables potato growers to get more from every unit of applied nitrogen and better realize the yield and quality potential of their crop.

Added value for the further sustainability and professionalization of the potato sector.
Potatoes typically take up only around 55% of the available nitrogen, leaving significant room to improve nitrogen use efficiency. Ampliqan® Perform reduces nitrate leaching by up to 35% and lowers N₂O emissions by up to 50% by temporarily slowing the conversion of ammonium into nitrate. As a result, it increases Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE), supports improved water quality, and contributes to more sustainable potato production. It helps growers optimize the yield and quality potential of their crop while reducing its environmental footprint.
