UREA

9
 10/27/2020

• CO(NH2)2 with
46% N content
• Easy to be lost
in the form of
ammonia
(NH3)
volatilization

Conversion of Urea

• Urea reacts with water in soil → hydrolysis

• The urea is converted to ammonium
carbonate which easily convert ti ammonia
(NH3) → controlled by pH. pH> 7.5 easy
volatilization

UREA AMMONIUM
NITRATE

11
 10/27/2020

Benefit UAN
• Its product are its
uniformity
• Easy to storage
• Easy to handling and
application
• UAN will lower the pH
because of the conversion
of ammonium to nitrate
release of H+

AMMONIUM SULFATE

12
 10/27/2020

• Soluble (source of N and S)

• 21% N and 24% S
• Wll-suited as a topdress
application as it has a lower
N volatilization

AMMONIUM NITRATE

13
 10/27/2020

• Odorless salt with 33-34% N

• Surface-applied or incorporated into the soil
• Contain both ammonium and nitrate
• Lower the pH of soil
• Ilegal use for explosive agent
