Urea (NH₂CONH₂)
Urea is an organic compound widely used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in agriculture. It provides an efficient and concentrated source of nitrogen, promoting rapid plant growth and improving crop yields. Beyond agriculture, urea also serves as a raw material in the chemical, medical, and automotive industries.

How It Works

Urea is synthesized by reacting ammonia (NH₃) with carbon dioxide (CO₂) under high pressure and temperature. Once produced, it is typically granulated or prilled for easy handling and application. When applied to soil, urea converts to ammonium carbonate, which plants absorb as nitrogen nutrients.

Key Benefits

  • High nitrogen content for improved crop productivity.
  • Cost-effective and easy to store and transport.
  • Essential raw material for resins, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Stable and safe to handle under normal conditions.
