A substantial amount of surface-applied urea can be lost through volatilisation when urea is not incorporated by adequate rainfall, irrigation or cultivation soon after application.
Green Urea NV® slows the conversion process to reduce these losses by up to 93%^^, resulting in more available nitrogen for your crop.
^^based on IPF field work and studies
Features
- The same high analysis as urea (46% nitrogen)
- Contains a urease inhibitor to protect against volatilisation losses
- Suitable where rainfall or irrigation is unlikely within a few days of application
- Can be blended with other fertilisers
Benefits
- Protects against nitrogen losses
- Retained nitrogen can then be used to grow additional pasture dry matter
- Allows greater flexibility of application timing
- Reduces nitrogen losses in unfavourable settings such as warm and windy conditions, on drying soils and on high pH soils

What's the implication of ammonia loss?
David McRae - IPF Technical Agronomist, explains the implications of ammonia loss, including the cost to growers of losing N and the loss of yield potential.
