B2B Manufacturers of UREA 46 Fertilizer Granules - For Wholesale Buyers

Urea is an organic compound containing 46% nitrogen, making it one of the most concentrated nitrogen fertilizers available. It is produced synthetically from ammonia and carbon dioxide. Urea 46 granules are free-flowing, granular substances that are easy to handle and apply. Due to its high nitrogen content, it is particularly effective for various types of crops, including cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Urea is a crucial element for promoting healthy plant growth, improving crop yields, and enhancing overall soil fertility.

Specifications

1. Chemical Formula: CO(NH2)2

2. Nutrient Content:

- Total Nitrogen (N): 46% (typically presented as 46-0-0)

- Other Nutrients: Phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and other trace elements are not present in significant quantities.

3. Physical Properties:

- Shape: Granular

- Color: White to slightly off-white

- Size: Granules typically range from 2 to 4 mm in diameter, although this may vary depending on the manufacturer.

- Solubility: Highly soluble in water, facilitating application through various methods, including broadcasting, fertigation, or incorporation into the soil.

4. Bulk Density: Approximately 0.7 to 0.8 g/cm³ (varies depending on the manufacturer and specific product).

5. Moisture Content: Typically less than 0.5% to 2%, but varies depending on the production process and storage conditions.

6. pH: Neutral to slightly alkaline (pH around 7).

7. Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC): Intrinsically low CEC, but nitrogen can influence the availability of other nutrients in the soil.

8. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping. Proper storage minimizes moisture absorption.

Application

- Method: Can be spread directly on the soil, in bands with seeds, or applied via irrigation systems (fertigation).

- Timing: Generally applied at planting or during the growing season, depending on crop requirements.

- Rate: The application rate will depend on soil analysis, crop requirements, and local agricultural recommendations, generally ranging from 50 to 300 kg/ha.

Safety and Handling

Although urea is considered safe when handled correctly, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and safety glasses should be worn to avoid skin and eye contact. It is not classified as a hazardous material but may produce ammonia gas when exposed to moisture and heat.
