Urea Phosphate - 17:44:00
Description
Urea phosphate is a versatile fertilizer that provides nitrogen and phosphorus to plants, promoting healthy growth, flowering, and fruiting. Its water solubility, acidifying effect, and compatibility with other inputs make it a valuable tool for improving soil fertility and sustaining crop productivity.
Mode of Action
Urea phosphate contains both nitrogen and phosphorus, two essential macronutrients required for plant growth and development. The nitrogen in urea phosphate is in the form of urea, which is a readily available nitrogen source for plants. Urea is quickly hydrolyzed by soil enzymes to release ammonium ions, which are then converted to nitrate by soil bacteria, making it accessible to plant roots. The phosphorus in urea phosphate is in the form of phosphate ions, which are essential for root development, flowering, and fruiting in plants. Phosphorus also plays a crucial role in energy transfer, photosynthesis, and nucleic acid synthesis.
Applications
Urea phosphate can be applied to the soil before planting or during the growing season to provide nitrogen and phosphorus to plants. It can be used as a starter fertilizer for young plants or as a supplemental fertilizer to meet the nutrient demands of crops during critical growth stages. Urea phosphate can also be applied as a foliar spray to provide a quick nutrient boost or address nutrient deficiencies in plants.
