Urea 46% (also called Urea 46) is one of the most widely used nitrogen fertilizers. It contains 46% nitrogen (N), making it a highly concentrated and cost-effective source of nitrogen for crops.
Specifications
Product: Urea 46%
Nitrogen (N): 46% minimum
Biuret: Typically < 1.0% (agricultural grade)
Moisture: < 0.5%
Appearance: White prilled or granular fertilizer
Chemical formula: CO(NHâ??)â??
Molecular weight: 60.06 g/mol
Solubility: Highly soluble in water
Advantages
High nitrogen content: Provides 46% nitrogen, reducing the amount of fertilizer needed.
Cost-effective: Lower transportation and storage costs due to its high nutrient concentration.
Suitable for many crops: Can be used on cereals, vegetables, fruits, oilseeds, and other crops.
Versatile application: Suitable for soil application, fertigation, and foliar feeding (when properly diluted).
Improves plant growth: Promotes vigorous vegetative growth, greener leaves, and higher yields when used correctly.
Easy handling: Available in prilled or granular form for convenient application.
Water soluble: Dissolves readily, making it suitable for irrigation systems.
Can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further.

For use on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is difficult)
is a nitrogen fertilizer which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting ammonium-nitrogen
Volatilization of nitrogen from CAN is negligible, therefore the timing of the applications is flexible
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH - and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further. This also means it is most suitable for using on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is normally difficult to achieve).
CAN is a nitrogen fertilizer which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting ammonium-nitrogen. This ensures a more continuous nitrogen supply to the crop and thus better efficiency of use, and also makes it suitable for unseasonal application during summer or winter.
It temporarily increases the soil pH, but over a long term the treated ground becomes more acidic than before upon nitrification of the ammonium.
It temporarily increases the soil pH, but over a long term the treated ground becomes moreacidic than before upon nitrification of the ammonium.
It is incompatible with alkaline chemicals because its ammonium ion is more likely to convert to ammonia in a high-pH environment. The average pH in solution is 7.5–8. The typical formulation is 18-46-0 (18% N, 46% P2O5, 0% K2O).
DAP can be used as a fire retardant. It lowers the combustion temperature of the material, decreases maximum weight loss rates, and causes an increase in the production of residue or char. These are important effects in fighting wildfires as lowering the pyrolysis temperature and increasing the amount of char formed reduces that amount of available fuel and can lead to the formation of a firebreak. It is the largest component of some popular commercial firefighting products.
DAP is also used as a yeast nutrient in wine making and brewing mead; as an additive in some brands of cigarettes purportedly as a nicotine enhancer; to prevent afterglow in matches, in purifying sugar; as a Flux for soldering tin, copper, zinc and brass; and to control precipitation of alkali-soluble and acid-insoluble colloidal dyes on wool.
NPK fertilizer is usually thought of as a chemical fertilizer, but npk applies to any soil amendment that supplies Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and K, Potassium, including organic fertilizers.
What is NPK?
An npk fertilizer is usually thought of as a chemical fertilizer, but npk applies to any soil amendment that supplies Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and K, Potassium, including organic fertilizers.
The numbers are always in the same order, and refer to the percentage of each element in the fertilizer.
Plants need nitrogen for leaf growth, phosphorus for root formation, stem growth, and fruiting, and potassium for flowering and plant immunity.
An organic npk fertilizer can be slow-releasing or fast-releasing. Many have both quick-releasing “labile” nutrients, and more “recalcitrant” nutrients that break down slowly and supply a steady stream of nutrients over a longer period.
Many organic npk fertilizers need soil organisms to break them down and release their nutrients, so they release more quickly when the soil is warm and the soil food web is at its most active. This is also when you get the most rapid plant growth, and your vegetables really need it.
