Carbamide

Carbamide (urea) is highly-concentrated mineral nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen in this fertilizer is in an amide form. Carbamide is an agronomically-effective fertilizer which has few benefits:

• high concentration of nitrogen which is fully water-soluble;
  
• high mobility of nutrients and their slow decomposition in the soil;   
  
• urea has a little acidifying effect;
  
• it is recommended to apply carbamide for acid light-textured soil (sandy loam or sandy type of soil) in contrast with other nitrogen fertilizers;
  
• Cl and SO4 absence accelerates the process of nitrification in the soil;
  
• especially effective when applied on irrigated land;
  
• has beneficial effects when applied for foliar fertilization.
  

The dosage for a single application of a carbamide as a basal fertilizer should not be more than 2,5 c/ha. The density of a solution for foliar applications is 5-30 %.
