How it Works
Unilok-NH3™ contains DCD to prevent anhydrous ammonia losses from nitrification, such as those from denitrification and leaching. DCD, the active ingredient present in Unilok-NH3, is an NRCS-approved nitrogen stabilizer. It acts by blocking the active site of the AMO enzyme preventing conversion of NH4 Nitrogen to NO3 Nitrogen forms that can be susceptible to environmental losses.
To be used with Anhydrous Ammonia Fall & Spring Applications

Benefits
Nutrient Availability
- Reduces N losses from leaching and denitrification to the environment
Crop Health
- Can be used as part of nutrient management EEFs programs that may result in direct economic benefits
Ease of Use
- Can be added directly into anhydrous tanks or during application
- Noncorrosive and non-explosive, which is a significant safety and economical advantage when compared to other NH3 inhibitors
- A structured use rate based on total N applied results in a more economical approach for treating/protecting your N
- Is bacteriostatic, meaning it does not have a negative effect on soil bacteria like other inhibitors
