U R E A - N46%

Urea N46% Fertilizer is manufactured by reacting ammonia with the carbon dioxide formed in the production of hydrogen in the first step of the ammonia manufacturing process. Urea contains 46% nitrogen.

Discovery of Urea

Urea was discovered by Hilaire Rouelle in 1773. It was the first organic compound to be artificially synthesized from inorganic materials in 1828 by Friedrich Wohler, who prepared it by reaction with potassium cyanate with ammonium sulphate. This disproved the theory that the chemicals of living organisms are fundamentally different from inanimate and started discipline of organic chemistry.

Advantages of Urea Fertilizer

1. UreaN46% Fertilizer can be applied to a soil as a solid or solution or to certain crops as a foliar spray.
2. Urea usage involves little or no fire explosion hazard.
3. Urea high analysis, N46% helps reduce handling storage and transportation lost.
4. Urea manufacture release few pollutants to the environment.

Urea Do's and Don'ts

1. Store separately from ammonium nitrate.
2. Do not use small, fast-moving augers to move the urea.
3. Do not exceed a spreading width of 50 feet when urea is applied
4. Do not place in direct contact with corn seed,
5. Oil reserves is the total volume of crude oil that is known
6. or believed to exist in the country oil fields (data is shown on a billion of barrels)
7. Keep rates of nitrogen with small grain in drill to 10 1b. on dry soil, 20 lb. on moist soil.
8. Apply urea on sod crops when atmospheric temperature is below 60 degrees F.
9. When urea is broadcast on soils of high pH (above 7.5), the material should be incorporated into the soil as soon as possible.
