Urea Fertilizer Highlights

  • High Nitrogen Content: Urea is a popular nitrogen fertilizer, typically containing 46% nitrogen. This makes it a highly concentrated source of this essential nutrient for plant growth.
  • Promotes Leafy Growth: Nitrogen is crucial for vegetative growth, particularly the development of leaves and stems. Urea helps plants produce lush, green foliage.
  • Versatile Application: Urea can be applied in various ways, including broadcasting, side-dressing, and through irrigation systems. It is suitable for a wide range of crops.
  • Soil pH Neutral: Unlike some other nitrogen fertilizers, urea has a neutral effect on soil pH. This means it is less likely to cause significant acidification or alkalization.
  • Potential for Volatilization: When applied to the soil surface, urea can convert to ammonia gas and be lost to the atmosphere. Incorporating it into the soil or applying before rain can minimize these losses.

Description

• Urea is a concentrated nitrogen fertilizer, essential for plant growth. • Provides readily available nitrogen to crops, promoting leafy development and green color. • Suitable for a wide range of crops including cereals, vegetables, and fruits. • Can be applied to the soil before planting or as a top dressing during the growing season. • Helps increase crop yield and improve overall plant health. • Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent caking.
