Urea nitrogen fertilizer is an indispensable and efficient fertilizer for modern agriculture. It effectively increases the nitrogen content of the soil, quickly promotes plant growth, and helps achieve high and stable crop yields. The economical nature of urea also makes it the preferred option for farmers to apply fertilizer.
During the planting process of wheat, rational application of urea can significantly increase the growth rate and final yield of wheat. Studies have shown that applying urea during the grain-filling stage of wheat can greatly increase the number of grains per spike and thousand-grain weight, thereby enhancing wheat yield.
The following is a practical case of urea application in wheat:
After farmers in a certain area used urea to fertilize, the wheat yield was 15% higher than that of plots using other nitrogen fertilizers. A reasonable application plan is to apply 120 pounds of urea per acre, combined with soil moisture to maintain the best fertilization effect.
As an important food crop, corn has a large demand for nitrogen fertilizer. The application of urea can meet the nitrogen needs of corn during its growth, improve its photosynthetic efficiency, promote root growth, and accelerate the growth process.
The case shows that a farm adopted a strategy of applying urea in stages at different stages of corn growth, which increased the farm's corn yield by 20%. In particular, fertilization during the heading stage increased the corn kernel weight and umbilical fertilizer thickness.
The healthy growth of fruit trees requires adequate nutrient supply, among which nitrogen is a key element that affects fruit tree flower bud differentiation and fruit development. Studies have shown that appropriate application of urea can promote healthier growth of fruit trees, and the taste and appearance of the fruits are significantly improved.
After applying urea in an orchard, the sugar content of its fruits increased by 5% compared with the non-fertilized control group, and the income per acre increased significantly. It is recommended to conduct soil testing before fruit trees bloom and then apply an appropriate amount of urea to help improve fruit quality and economic benefits.
In order to get the most out of urea application, here are some tips and precautions:
Urea (granular) nitrogen fertilizer has become an indispensable and important fertilizer in agricultural production due to its excellent application effect and economy. Through scientific application methods and case analysis, farmers will be provided with practical and effective fertilization plans to promote more sustainable agricultural production.
