Urea

Product Details

Urea, at 46% nitrogen (N), is the most concentrated solid nitrogen fertiliser. This means there is less to freight and handle. It is also one of the most economical nitrogen fertilisers. These factors have seen urea become the world’s most popular nitrogen fertiliser.

There is considerable flexibility in how and when to apply urea. The best time will vary with the crop, soil type, locality and the application equipment available to do the job.

Urea can be applied on its own, or in blends with products such as DAP and Muriate of Potash.

It can be applied pre-plant, or in side and top-dressing programs.

There are limits to how much urea can be safely applied at planting without harming germinating seeds or young seedlings.

Urea is also used a non-protein nitrogen supplement for ruminants, e.g. sheep and cattle. Urea allows ruminants to make better use of low protein roughages, e.g. dry grass, during dry weather and the onset of drought.
