Advantage of urea

Great applicability of urea as a fertilizer in agriculture is due to its highly technical and economic advantages over other nitrogen fertilizers. It is essential for maintaining nitrogen balance in soil and provides necessary nutrients for crops.

Urea is the most concentrated nitrogen fertilizer

• The nutrient content of active nitrogen is 46.3% while in the other nitrogen fertilizers, ammonium nitrate is from 31-34.4%, ammonium sulphate 21%.

There is 463kg nitrogen in one ton of urea

• 100 kg of urea are equal to 133 kg ammonium nitrate, 225kg ammonium sulphate, and 300kg sodium nitrate.

• Due to the high concentration of nitrogen in it - transportation, storage, import costs are reduced and output and productivity is increased.

• The expenditure rate for fertilization of an area is lower compared to other nitrogen fertilizers.

• Aqueous solution of urea increases the gluten in wheat. This leads to an improvement in bakeries and chemical technological properties of the grain. This is explained by the rapid engagement of amide form of protein synthesis.

• The adsorbed urea by soil is not practiaclly hardly washed from rains with an intensity of 50mm/h, where stronger elution is much less than that of ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate. Furthermore, the influence of rainfall, the largest quantity of the implemented urea in the soil is placed at a depth of 5-25 mm, i.e. at the level of the root system of plants.
