Granular Urea
Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic chemical with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2. The compound is a colorless, insoluble, and odorless substance that is extremely water-soluble and virtually harmless. It dissolves in water and is not acidic or alkaline. The introduction of and the scientific discovery of Urea is described as a significant event in the development of agriculture. Urea N46 % is the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer. It is used throughout all agricultural areas of the world. Before this, no other agricultural land has seen such rapid growth in production and prosperity. Urea is pH neutral and can adapt to nearly every kind of soil. The waste product forms naturally through protein metabolism in humans, as in other amphibians, other mammals, and a few fish. Urea is used extensively in the agriculture sector for fertilizer and the addition of animal feed.
Zeenith Trading can provide the finest quality granular or prill fertilizer (Carbamide)
The last ten years have seen Urea (carbamide) as an excellent alternative to ammonium nitrate and have set new production records. This white crystal substance contains a proportionate that contains more than one nutrient and has 46 % nitrogen. Farmers have recognized chemical fertilizer as a fantastic way to succeed in Agro Revolution. The nutrient composition produced by Urea increases the efficiency of soils and enriches their nutrient content. In providing each plant with the necessary elements required, Urea extends the life of plants.
Over 90% of the world’s industrial Urea production is intended to be used as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. Urea is the most nitrogen-rich concentration of all solid fertilizers with nitrogen commonly used. It also has the lowest transport costs in terms of nitrogen nutrients. Urea fertilizers are rapidly transformed into ammonium in soils.
In the world, urea N46% is among the top frequently utilized dry granular nitrogen sources. The fertilizer industry favors it because it is fairly simple to produce. Urea also has a significant nitrogen content (46%) compared to other popular nitrogen sources (i.e., ammonium nitrate). On a ton-for-ton basis, Urea has 35 % more nitrogen than ammonium Nitrate. This impacts the storage and transportation of nitrogen fertilizer products. Urea is considered to be a solid product to store and move. For this reason, transporting Urea is considered economical compared to its most commonly used counterpart, ammonium Nitrate.
Our benefits
Urea, also known as carbamide, is the diamide of carbonic acid.
- Superior Nitrogen content
- Non-flammable, safe storage
- pH neutral and safe for soil and crops
In contrast to normal urea, which must wait 4-6 weeks before you apply it after liming, studies indicate that urea with protection can be applied more quickly since the urease inhibitor reduces the acidity spike surrounding the urea granules in hydrolysis, even on freshly limed soils.
Test work conducted by Teagasc at 37 sites over two years showed similar yields to CAN and Urea.
Plants do not directly absorb urea. It must first be transformed into Ammonia Carbonate. This is accomplished through urease enzymes found in the soil. They bind to urea, breaking into ammonia free and disintegrating in soil’s moisture. It could also escape to the atmosphere in particular conditions, e.g., high temperatures (>10 C), soils with a high pH recently limed, or soils with a sandy texture. Because of this, the traditional recommendation for urea is to be applied first in spring. However, even in this case, if the soil has begun to dry out in windy weather conditions, it can result in substantial ammonia losses. However, the loss of nitrogen due to the process of denitrification or leaching is lower than Ammonia Nitrate.
