ABOUT UREA
Urea, also known as carbamide, is a widely used nitrogen-rich compound that serves multiple purposes in agriculture and industry. It is highly soluble in water, making it an ideal and efficient source of nitrogen for plants. Urea is synthesized from ammonia and carbon dioxide, typically in a high-temperature, high-pressure process.
Uses of Urea:
Agriculture:
- Fertilizer: Urea is the most common nitrogen fertilizer used worldwide. It provides a readily available source of nitrogen, which is essential for plant growth.
- Animal Feed: Urea is also added to animal feed as a non-protein nitrogen source, which ruminant animals can convert into protein through their digestive processes.
