Urea (CO(NH₂)₂) is a high-concentration nitrogen fertilizer containing 46% nitrogen in amide form (NH₂) — the highest nitrogen content among solid mineral fertilizers.
Amide nitrogen gradually mineralizes in the soil, first converting into ammonium (NH₄⁺) and then into nitrate (NO₃⁻) form. This ensures slow-release, stable plant nutrition without nitrogen shock.
Recommended use:
- suitable for cereals, oilseeds, industrial crops, forage crops, vegetables, root crops, fruit trees, berry bushes, flowers, and lawns
- Base application with soil incorporation;
- pre-sowing application;
- top dressing during vegetation (in granulated or dissolved form);
- foliar feeding (as a 5–10% aqueous solution);
- fertigation after complete dissolution.
Advantages:
- highest nitrogen content among mineral fertilizers;
- slow-release effect reduces nitrogen losses and ensures prolonged feeding;
- versatile usage: soil, foliar, and drip application;
- high solubility — ideal for fertigation;
- compatible with micronutrients, stimulants, and pesticides (after compatibility testing).
Limitations and warnings:
- do not apply on the soil surface without incorporation — risk of nitrogen loss due to NH₃ volatilization;
- do not exceed foliar feeding rates — risk of leaf burn;
- tank mixes must be tested for compatibility before use;
- highly hygroscopic — strict adherence to storage conditions is critical.

- store in dry, well-ventilated facilities, protected from direct sunlight, with relative air humidity not exceeding 70%. Place bags on pallets at least 15 cm above the floor, arranged in a single layer;
- packaging (bags, big bags) must be tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress;
- permissible storage temperature: from –20 °C to +35 °C (avoid exposure to high humidity, as this may cause caking or condensation — loosen before use if necessary);
- avoid contact with acids, alkaline substances, organic compounds, or other fertilizers that may cause a chemical reaction;
- in case of prolonged storage, periodically loosen the product to prevent clumping.
