OPTIMISE iO – Urea efficiency enhancer
Smarter use of your urea for better nitrogen efficiency
Optimise iO is designed to be added to urea or used as a standalone application to improve nitrogen efficiency in pasture, cropping and horticulture systems. It is built using the same framework and technology from the DCT system that has been independently tested and shown to reduce urea leaching.
Optimise iO helps improve nitrogen availability in the soil, supporting more consistent pasture and crop performance without changing how you farm.
Key benefits
Optimise iO is designed to:
Improve nitrogen uptake when urea is applied
Support better nutrient availability in the soil
Enhance water distribution and soil contact for applied nitrogen
Improve nitrogen efficiency compared with urea used alone
Provide a flexible option that can be used with urea or as a standalone product
How it works
What happens when you use Optimise iO
When used with urea, Optimise iO helps improve nitrogen availability and consistency in the soil.
When used alone, Optimise iO supports soil and nutrient performance through the same DCT framework and technology that has been independently tested and shown to reduce urea leaching.
Typical use
Optimise iO is suitable for:
Dairy pasture systems
Cropping systems using urea
Horticultural systems where urea is part of the fertiliser programme
Situations where improved nitrogen efficiency and consistency are priorities
Standalone use when urea is not being applied
Which product is right for you?
Want to enhance your urea use?
→ Optimise iO improves the performance and efficiency of your urea applications.
Looking for a complete nitrogen replacement?
→ Turbo N and Restore deliver nitrogen with improved delivery and consistency.
Want a dedicated urea stabiliser for dairy pasture?
→ Stabi Mix is designed specifically for urea in dairy pasture systems.
Recommended rate
Optimise iO is typically used at the recommended rate of 15–20 L/ha when applied with urea.
When used as a standalone application, your DCT advisor can recommend the best rate for your system and conditions.
How to use
Application guidance
Optimise iO can be used with urea or as a standalone product.
Typical use:
Mix Optimise iO with your urea at the recommended rate (if applying with urea)
Apply the combined solution with appropriate ground equipment
Match rate and timing to pasture or crop demand
Compatibility note:
Optimise iO is compatible with most common products used in pasture, cropping and horticulture. If you plan to mix with other products, perform a jar test first: mix a small sample in a clear container, check for cloudiness or settling over 15–30 minutes, and contact DCT if issues occur.
Active tank agitation during application reduces the chance of settling.
Frequently asked questions
Is Optimise iO compatible with other products?
Optimise iO is compatible with most common products used in pasture, cropping and horticulture. If you plan to mix with other products, perform a jar test first and confirm compatibility with your DCT advisor.
Can Optimise iO be used without urea?
Yes. Optimise iO can be used as a standalone product. If you are using urea, Optimise iO can be added to improve nitrogen efficiency.
What rate should I use with Optimise iO?
The typical rate is 15–20 L/ha when used with urea. Your DCT advisor can confirm the best rate for your system and conditions, especially for standalone use.
Does Optimise iO reduce nitrogen leaching?
Optimise iO is built using the same framework and technology from the DCT system that has been independently tested and shown to reduce urea leaching. Optimise iO itself is designed to improve nitrogen efficiency, but any claims about reduced leaching should be discussed with your DCT advisor based on your system and conditions.
Can Optimise iO be used in dairy pasture systems?
Yes. Optimise iO is commonly used in dairy pasture systems to improve nitrogen efficiency and consistency when applying urea.
