UREA 46% N
A highly concentrated nitrogen fertilizer containing 46% nitrogen in amide form. It is the most widely used source for providing quick-acting nitrogen to ensure rapid vegetative growth and high crop productivity across all major crops.
Product Information
Soil Conversion: Upon application to the soil, urea converts into ammonium carbonate through the action of the naturally occurring enzyme urease. This is then rapidly converted into ammonium and nitrate forms, which are readily absorbed by plant roots.
Physiological Role: Nitrogen is the essential building block for chlorophyll synthesis (responsible for green color), protein formation, and overall vigorous vegetative growth and development.
- Highest nitrogen concentration (46%) among solid fertilizers.
- Quick-acting source for immediate plant nitrogen requirements.
- Promotes rapid and vigorous vegetative growth.
- Enhances leaf development and imparts a healthy dark green color.
- Highly cost-effective nitrogen source per unit of nutrient.
- Versatile and suitable for various application methods (broadcasting, placement, etc.).
