Ammonium Nitrate Vs Urea, M G. Mason
Experimental Summaries - Plant Research
Ammonium nitrate is a source of nitrogen containing half
its nitrogen in the ammonium form and half in the nitrate form.
Some properties are set out in comparison with urea in the
following table.
Ammonium nitrate has an advantage over urea in that it can
be topdressed onto the surface of the soil and left uncovered
without a danger of loss of nitrogen to the atmosphere. When urea
is left uncovered on the surface of the soil losses of nitrogen occur
through volatilisation of ammonia during the hydrolysis of the urea.
Such losses with ammonium nitrate are only likely to …
