DIDIN®
DIDIN is a nitrification inhibitor for liquid fertiliser that offers farmers a variety of benefits:- Nitrification inhibitor
- Reduces carbon footprint
- Reduces nitrous oxide emissions
- Improves nitrogen use efficiency
- Improves yield
- Enables all nitrogen to be applied in one pass
DIDIN Nitrification Inhibitor
DIDIN is a nitrification inhibitor, created with NprotectioN technology, and has been part of the OMEX range for over 30 years. It’s an inorganic liquid formulation containing DCD, designed to improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency, reduce nitrous oxide emissions, allow the full seasons fertiliser application to be applied in a single pass and reduce the carbon footprint of fertiliser applied.
It works by safely protecting your valuable nitrogen liquid fertiliser application, delivering a steady supply of crop available nitrogen throughout the growing season, leading to higher yielding and higher quality crops. Utilising our NprotectioN technology means the crop can utilise more of the nitrogen applied, increasing Nitrogen Use Efficiency.
How does DIDIN work?
The bacteriostatic action of one of the nitrification inhibitors in DIDIN, dicyandiamide, works selectively on Nitrosomonas europeae controlling the oxidation of ammonium to nitrate. By keeping the nitrogen in the ammonium form which is less prone to leaching, nitrogen losses can be kept to a bare minimum.
Dicyandiamide is broken down as soil temperature increases. It therefore releases more nitrogen as the crop requires it. When applied with slurry in the winter months, the product can stabilise the nitrogen until the crop can use it in the spring.

DIDIN Nitrificaiton Inhibitor FAQ’S
-
DIDIN is supplied separately to our bulk fertiliser range in bottles or IBCs. This is to ensure the correct inhibitor is being utilised for the situation, avoiding the unnecessary application of unneeded inputs. It’s mixed with the bulk fertiliser ahead of application.
-
DIDIN can be included in your fertiliser application to reduce the carbon footprint. Arable farmers using the product could be credited with a reduction of around 500 to 700 kg/ha CO2e, according to the amount of nitrogen applied.
-
Utilising DIDIN means the full seasons nitrogen requirement can be applied in one simple pass. The nitrogen is held safely crop available throughout the crops growing cycle, with no damage to soil health. The reduced number of passes reduces soil compaction.
-
Our inhibitor reduces nitrous oxide emissions of nitrogen fertiliser. It’s been demonstrated to consistently reduce emissions due to retaining the nitrogen in a crop available form for longer.
Another Successful Trial
The following trial looked at improving nitrogen and protein content within commercial ryegrass. The Ryegrass from the treated areas was cut and sent for analysis for N and Protein content by NIAB. Both results showed a positive increase where DIDIN was included.
A further trial on wheat showed an increase in Nitrogen Use Efficiency, utilising a 2 split pass with less fertiliser applied when including DIDIN and NitroShield compared to a standard rate 3 split pass. Reducing the amount of passes traveled on the land, N2O emissions and CO2e emissions.
