Urea or Carbamide is an organic compound. Carbamide is efficiently used in the agricultural sector, it is stable to store and transport.
The farmers confirm that urea (carbamide) is as an excellent, 1st class replacement to ammonium nitrate, and in terms of production records it is unmatched!
Major advantages of urea / carbamide 46 fertilizer:
-
Matchless nitrogen content;
-
Natural;
-
Widely used worldwide on all types of crops and soils;
-
Neutral pH and harmless to crops and soil
Urea as a fertilizer:
-
provides plants with necessary nitrogen;
-
promotes green leafy growth;
-
assists in the photosynthesis process of plants - plants intake carbon dioxide and water from the air/ soil and transform it into glucose used as an energy;
-
increases the size of flowers, fruits, and vegetables;
-
expedites the growing process;
-
The chemical formula -CO(NH2)2;
-
Colorless
-
Odorless
-
Solid
-
Soluble in water
-
Non-toxic
-
Neutral in pH
-
Able to adapt to variety of soils
-
Contains 46% nitrogen – highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers!
What is NPK?
NPK means - Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K).
Role of the nitrogen is to support vegetative growth.
The role of the phosphorus is to improve flowering and the roots of the plants.
Potassium strengthens resistance to external conditions, including extreme temperatures and insect attacks.
Urea (Carbamide) is used in agriculture, production of resins, explosives, automobile systems, lab uses, medical use, etc.
South African farmers used nitrified urine fertilizer (NUF) to assess the potential of improving the soil and the crops, They have discovered that the “urine-based treatments were as effective as any of the chemical fertilizers”.
