What is UREA Fertiliser 46%?
UREA Fertiliser 46% is a white, crystalline organic compound that contains 46% nitrogen by weight. This high nitrogen content makes it an ideal choice for promoting leafy growth and vibrant green colour in plants. The nitrogen is in the form of amide, which is readily converted into ammonium and then nitrate in the soil—forms that plants can readily absorb.

How UREA Works in the Soil
When applied, UREA is broken down by soil enzymes into ammonium and then converted into nitrate. These are both usable forms of nitrogen for plants. It's important to water the fertiliser in or apply before expected rainfall to prevent nitrogen loss through volatilisation.
