Urea + Inhibitor

Urea+ is a one-component nitrogen fertilizer that is high in nitrogen – 46%. The fertilizer is treated with 0.144% of urease inhibitor as an active ingredient. When adding compounds that inhibit (suppress) the synthesis of urease enzyme by urea bacteria found in soils, urea converts into ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. The fertilizer application enhances crop vigor and stimulates root system strengthening and development.

The urease inhibitor:
Reduces nitrogen loss;
Retards the conversion of urea into ammonium;
Provides more time for the urea molecule to be absorbed in the soil through precipitation;
Leads to a lower concentration of NH4+and NH3 near the seeds.
When urea with no inhibitor interacts with soil, enzymatic degradation processes occur under the action of urease enzyme (pH 6.4–6.9) released by soil bacteria. These processes lead to an increase in soil pH and loss of NH3. In this case, the hydrolysis process is accelerated, which results in evaporation of NH3/NH4+.

Amounts of nitrogen lost as NH3 vary depending on soil and environmental conditions: they are higher when urea is applied on the surface of light soils at high temperatures and high moisture.

By slowing down the rate of urea hydrolysis in the soil, urease inhibitors decrease gaseous nitrogen losses and the ammonium ion concentration in the soil solution. This reduces the risk of adverse effects on sprouts at higher doses of urea applied as pre-sowing fertilization.

Urease inhibitors slow down the process of urea hydrolysis and enable plants to absorb nitrogen over a longer period of time. Nitrogen efficiency is increased and environmental protection is promoted by using inhibited urea.
