Urea is a white crystalline substance with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2; it is highly water soluble and contains 46% nitrogen. Urea is considered an organic compound because it contains carbon. It was the first organic compound every synthesized by chemists; this was accomplished in the early 1800s by German
chemists. Urea is made by reacting carbon dioxide (CO2) with anhydrous ammonia (NH3) under 3,000 psi pressures and at 350 degrees F.

Urea has a number of advantages over other nitrogen fertilizers. Urea is safe to ship and
handle, it is less corrosive to equipment, it has a higher analysis than any other dry nitrogen
fertilizer and it can beused on virtually all crops. Urea can be stored and distributed through
conventional systems. It can be applied in many different ways from sophisticated aerial
application equipment to a farm spreading urea by hand.
Urea is also highly water soluble so it moves readily into the soil. The high analysis means a reduced transportation and application cost per pound of nitrogen.

TRANSPORTATION
BULK
The easier and less expensive way of shipping Urea is using Bulk Shipments.
TANK
Anhydrous Ammonia needs special tanks to be transported.
