Nitrogenous fertilizer, readily soluble in water, alcohols and liquid ammonia. It takes the form of white prilled, grain class 1-3.15 mm, with at least 90% of the prills covered with anti-caking agents. Prilled urea 46% is hygroscopic. Bulk density: 0.70-0.78 kg/dm3.
Prilled urea 46% includes 46% of nitrogen (N) in ureic form, easily absorbed by the leaves of plants. Absorption through the root system is slower, because urea in soil is converted (as a result of enzymatic hydrolysis) into the ammonia form available for plants, and then into nitrate form.
Nitrogen from urea is released to plants uniformly, thus there is no excess storage of harmful nitrates in either the plant or groundwater. Losses of nitrogen from the soil are low. The ammonia form resulting from hydrolysis contributes to the harmonious growth and development of plants, supports intake of phosphorus and limits excess intake of potassium. This form of nitrogen brings about good rooting and proper development of plants from the postemergence period, increases their strength and, above all, contributes to high yield of good biological value. Prilled urea 46% guarantees a safe content of harmful nitrates in feeds and in vegetables and fruits.
In the event of irritation of skin and eyes, wash with plenty of water. Dust masks and safety goggles are recommended. If swallowed accidentally, seek medical advice. Nontoxic, odourless, non-flammable fertilizer.
