Urea

Urea, also called carbamide, the diamide of carbonic acid. Its formula is H2NCONH2. Urea has important uses as a fertilizer and feed supplement, as well as a starting material for the manufacture of plastics and drugs. It is a colourless, crystalline substance that melts at 132.7 C (271 F) and decomposes before boiling.

Extensively used as a chemical fertilizer, urea releases nitrogen into soil which is thereafter taken in by the plants.

On a commercial basis, urea is available as prills or as a granulated fertilizer. The large granules are crystalline white and are highly resistant to moisture and thus facilitate long time storage as well. Today these granular shaped crystals of urea are blended with most of the fertilizers.

When applied in measured proportions and through precise methodology, urea works wonder for all crops and increase4s the yields by great proportions

As urea comprises of 46% N, it can be easily stored, transported and handled safely. There are no explosion hazards caused by urea fertilizer

The nutrient composition rendered by urea enhances the productivity of the soil and enriches its nutrient constituency. Providing each plant with relevant elements needed, urea sustains plant life.
