What Are Fertiliser Inhibitors?
Fertiliser inhibitors support farmers in getting the most out of their fertiliser application, by reducing nitrogen losses.
At OMEX, we offer different types of liquid fertiliser inhbitors, designed to target the different processes and offer farmers the best product for the specific scenario.
Urease inhibitors, such as NitroShield, help reduce ammonia losses, whilst nitrification inhibitors such as NOxShield slow the conversion of ammonium nitrogen to nitrate, helping reduce nitrate leaching and production of nitrous oxide.

Fertiliser Inhibitors: What’s The Difference?
We offer two different fertiliser inhibitors, supporting farmers in targeting scenarios specific to their farming needs. The below table outlines the key differences between our urease inhibitor and our nitrification inhibitor:
| Urease inhibitor | Nitrification inhibitor | |
| NitroShield | NOxShield | |
| Targets | Ammonia Volatilisation | Nitrification Process |
| Helps Reduce | Ammonia Emissions | Nitrous Oxide Emissions |
| Benefits | Reduces the loss of valuable nitrogen to ammonia emissions. Delivering improved NUE, leading to improved farm yield and profitability, whilst meeting compliance standards. | Reduces nitrous oxide emissions, delivering improved NUE. With the ability to reduce the carbon footprint of crops leading to sustainable food production. |
Which Fertiliser Inhibitor Is Right For You?
The right inhibitor choice depends on the outcome you’re wishing to achieve on farm.

Fertiliser Inhibitor FAQs
-
The fertiliser inhibitors we offer at OMEX have been scientifically proven to reduce emissions and improve nitrogen use efficiency. Both inhibitors work to keep the liquid fertiliser where it should be, for longer. Reducing leaching and volatilisation, to aid farmers in growing crops more sustainably.
-
Yes, OMEX inhibitors for use in liquid fertiliser have been rigorously researched, trialled and tested on a variety of UK crops. In line with our vision to optimise life’s essentials and offer farmers the highest quality, scientifically proven solutions our inhibitors are safe to use. Please follow individual product application rates and guidance.
-
Our range of fertiliser inhibitors have been scientifically proven to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Each inhibitor has a different mode of action, both rigorously tested with trials data to show improved NUE on crops.
