Urea
The agricultural industry widely uses urea, a white crystalline solid containing 46 percent nitrogen, as an animal feed additive and fertilizer. Here, we’ll focus on its role as a nitrogen fertilizer.
Urea plays a crucial role in modern agriculture, providing an efficient and effective means of supplying nitrogen to crops. However, its use requires careful management to maximize its benefits while minimizing environmental impacts. Researchers and agricultural experts continually work on developing improved formulations and application techniques to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urea fertilizer use in farming practices.
In the past decade, urea has surpassed anhydrous ammonia as the main source of nitrogen fertilizer in Minnesota. This has brought up new questions about urea and how to use it.
