Urea (Сarbamide)

Carbamide 46% (Urea).
Universal concentrated nitrogen fertilizer.
Urea (carbamide) is a fertilizer with an amide form of nitrogen (FERTILIZER EC A.1.9).
Urea is the most concentrated of all nitrogen fertilizers, produced in granular form.
Composition: urea nitrogen (N-NH2) – 46.0%. The active substances contained in the fertilizer are completely water-soluble.
Granular urea has excellent physical characteristics: it does not cake and retains good dispersion.
It is used for all agricultural crops both as a solution and for basic application in granular form.
Urea is used as a component for the production of complex fertilizers and new types of slow-release nitrogen fertilizers. Dissolve the fertilizer in water before use. Not suitable for legumes.
Application rate: for irrigation: 10–30 g/10 l of water, for spraying: 30 g/10 l of water.

* Benefits of using urea for plants:
Regulates the growth of vegetative mass.
Increases the protein and gluten content in grain.
Increases crop yields.
When applied foliarly (unlike other nitrogen fertilizers), urea does not burn leaves and is also well absorbed by plants.
When applied primarily to the soil, it is as effective as ammonium nitrate.
When applying to the soil, it is also worth following some rules:
- it is better to apply the fertilizer to a depth of 8 cm in the soil so that the granules have time to dissolve and the bacteria process the substance into an assimilable form
- carefully calculate the fertilizer rate for different plants, taking into account the fertilizers used
- when treating plants with a nutrient solution of urea, the soil should be moist
- use warm water, since nitrogen lowers the water temperature by 10 degrees
- this fertilizer cannot be used uncontrollably. The use of urea is recommended only in case of nitrogen deficiency.
The following signs may indicate low nitrogen content and soil depletion:
* pale color of sparse foliage;
* falling off of lower leaves;
* few buds.
And other signs indicate an excess of nitrogen in the soil: a long absence of flowering and a dark green color of the leaves.
