Description
Urea, chemically represented as CO(NH₂)₂, is a white crystalline solid that serves as an economical and efficient nitrogen source for crops. It is highly water-soluble, making it easy to blend with other fertilizers or apply directly to the soil. Urea is essential for plant growth, promoting lush foliage, vigorous development, and improved productivity in various crop types.
Technical Features of Urea Fertilizer
- Nitrogen Content: Urea contains 46% nitrogen, the highest concentration among solid fertilizers.
- Form: White, odorless granules or prills that dissolve rapidly in water.
- Moisture Content: ≤ 0.5% to prevent clumping during storage and handling.
- Biuret Content: ≤ 1% to ensure safe application without toxicity to sensitive crops.
- pH Value: Neutral to slightly acidic, compatible with most soil types.
Benefits of Using Urea Fertilizer
- High Nitrogen Efficiency: Delivers nitrogen in a form that is readily absorbed by plants, promoting healthy growth.
- Cost-Effective: Offers excellent value for its nitrogen content compared to other fertilizers.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of crops, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and oilseeds.
- Easy to Handle: Non-dusty granules ensure convenient application and minimal wastage.
- Environmentally Adaptive: Enhances soil fertility while reducing the risk of nutrient loss through leaching.
Applications of Urea Fertilizer
- Direct Application:
Urea is applied directly to the soil for effective nitrogen supplementation. Farmers can use spreaders to ensure uniform distribution over large areas. - Foliar Feeding:
Urea can be dissolved in water and sprayed onto leaves, providing a quick boost of nitrogen to crops during critical growth stages. - Blending with Other Fertilizers:
It is often mixed with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to create balanced nutrient blends tailored to specific crop needs.
Packaging and Storage
To maintain the integrity of our urea fertilizer during transit and storage, we offer packaging solutions designed for durability and convenience:
- Packaging Options:
- 25 kg and 50 kg woven polypropylene (PP) bags with polyethylene liners to protect against moisture.
- Bulk supply in jumbo bags (500 kg or 1,000 kg) for large-scale operations.
- Storage Recommendations:
- Store in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Keep bags sealed to prevent exposure to humidity, which can cause clumping.
- Avoid stacking bags more than three layers high to minimize compaction.
