Urea contains 46% Nitrogen, making it a critical nutrient source for driving vegetative growth and foliage development in crops across Sri Lanka.
To minimize nitrogen loss through leaching and volatilization, Urea should be applied in split top-dressings during key growth stages rather than a single large application. Soil should be damp during application, and the fertilizer incorporated into the topsoil.
Combining Urea with organic matter improves soil retention, balances microbial activity, and delivers sustainable yield improvements.
