Urea is a common high-nitrogen fertilizer that is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for application as a liquid or granular fertilizer.
It can be used as a standalone fertilizer or in combination with other nutrients. Urea is a neutral fertilizer, and its application does not significantly impact soil pH. This can be advantageous when aiming to provide nitrogen without affecting soil acidity.
The nitrogen in urea becomes available to plants relatively quickly. However, the rapid conversion of urea to ammonium can lead to nitrogen losses through ammonia volatilization, especially in alkaline soils or under certain environmental conditions.
*When using urea as a fertilizer, it’s important to consider factors such as application rates, timing, and environmental conditions to optimize its effectiveness and minimize potential environmental impacts.
