AGRICULTURAL UREA BOTH GRANULA AND PRILLED

Agricultural urea is a highly concentrated, white crystalline solid containing 46% nitrogen (often labeled as 46-0-0). It is the most widely used nitrogen-based fertilizer globally to promote leafy green growth and maximize crop yields.

Key Characteristics & Application Tips

• Cost-Effectiveness: It is generally more economical than other nitrogen fertilizers due to its high nutrient density.
• Application Strategy: Never apply urea directly onto or in contact with seeds, as it releases ammonia and can burn the seeds. Use it primarily for top-dressing crops during their active vegetative growth stages.
• Timing: Apply right before rainfall or irrigate it into the soil immediately. This prevents nitrogen from evaporating (volatilizing) into the atmosphere under hot, dry conditions.

• Soil Health: Frequent or heavy use can increase soil acidity over time. Some users note that soil pH alteration can be an issue with continuous application, while others find it highly effective for boosting overall crop productivity.
