Urea contains the most nitrogen among nitrogenous fertilizers, with 46% nitrogen in its content. It dissolves easily in water, is white in color and has round grains.
After urea fertilizer is applied to the soil, the organic nitrogen in it undergoes chemical changes in the soil and becomes available to plants in a short time. Urea can be applied successfully to all plants. While it can be used in autumn fertilization, it can also be used during certain growth periods of plants, in spring or later.
When a large amount of urea needs to be administered, it should be divided into several portions rather than all at once. After urea is applied to the soil, it should be mixed into the soil immediately. Otherwise, nitrogen loss may occur from the fertilizer remaining on the soil surface.
It is a source of nitrogen in the form of ammonium with high sulfur content. Unlike other nitrogenous fertilizers, it contains sulfur, one of the important plant nutrients, in addition to nitrogen.
It is a valuable nutrient source for soils where deficiencies in nitrogen and sulfur elements are detected together. Since the fertilizer itself is acidic, it can be used safely in neutral and alkaline, that is, calcareous soils. If ammonium sulfate, which contains 21% nitrogen, is used excessively and for a long time in acidic soils, it causes the soil to become more acidic and makes the soil infertile.
It is also known as "sugar fertilizer" among farmers because its crystal structure resembles sugar. The sulfur in sulfate form it contains is able to completely meet the needs of plants.
Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer is a type of fertilizer that contains a total of 33% nitrogen, including 16.5% ammonium and 16.5% nitrate nitrogen. Because of this feature and the fact that it is a fertilizer that dissolves quickly in the soil, it acts quickly and its effect lasts longer than other nitrogenous fertilizers.
No pH change is observed in the soil after Ammonium Nitrate application. It is a neutral type of fertilizer due to its structure and can be used easily in all types of soil. It is not recommended for use in areas with high rainfall since the nitrate nitrogen it contains is easily washed away. In such areas, Ammonium Nitrate should be used in 2-3 applications, not all at once. Such a practice also affects both efficiency and quality.
Since Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer dissolves quickly and without residue in water, it can be used in drip irrigation systems without any problems.
Sulfuric acid is a colorless and oily liquid with the chemical formula H2SO4. It is one of the most used products in the chemical industry. Sulfuric acid, which is not found pure in nature, is produced industrially by contact method or through lead chambers. Here, sulfur dioxide is oxidized with oxygen using different catalysts and converted into sulfur trioxide, and sulfur dioxide is reacted with water to obtain sulfuric acid.
This acid, which is used in many areas in industry, is especially used in fertilizer production, ammonium sulfate production, paint industry and petrochemical industry. In addition, it is possible to see that sulfuric acid is used in the production of various batteries. It appears as a substance that conducts electricity and produces very high heat when dissolved in water.In addition, it is possible to see that sulfuric acid is used in the production of various batteries.
