Urea Nitrogen Fertilizer 46-0-0, 10 lbs

Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, with the chemical formula CON2H4 or (NH2)2CO. It is commercially produced using two primary raw materials: ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ammonia, which is derived from coal or hydrocarbons such as natural gas and petroleum, generates substantial quantities of carbon dioxide during its production. This carbon dioxide is then utilized to directly synthesize urea.

Urea offers several advantages over other nitrogen fertilizers. It is safer to transport and handle compared to other options, and it is less corrosive to equipment. Additionally, urea boasts a higher nutrient analysis than any other dry nitrogen fertilizer, making it highly efficient for use on nearly all types of crops.

The storage and distribution of urea are straightforward, as it can be managed using conventional systems. Its versatility extends to its application methods; it can be applied using advanced aerial equipment or even by hand on farms. Furthermore, urea is highly water-soluble, facilitating its movement into the soil. This high nutrient analysis means that the transportation and application costs per kilogram of nitrogen are significantly reduced.
