UREA - Pupuk Makro Yang Paling Dibutuhkan Tanaman Buah, Sayur, Penting untuk Pertumbuhan

Urea fertilizer is a chemical fertilizer containing high levels of nitrogen (N), reaching 46%. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants, especially during the vegetative phase, or growth. Therefore, it is widely used by farmers, both vegetable and fruit growers. Urea fertilizer comes in the form of white, crystalline solid granules that readily dissolve in water. At a humidity level of 73%, this fertilizer is able to absorb water vapor from the air, so it should not be stored in damp areas. Because it is readily soluble in water, urea fertilizer is readily absorbed by plants, but it also evaporates easily when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, many farmers prefer applying urea fertilizer in the morning or evening. Although these conditions slow plant absorption, the fertilizer also prevents it from evaporating easily due to the heat. Some of the benefits of urea fertilizer for plants are as follows: 1. Makes leaves appear fresher, greener, and lusher 2. Increases the number of plant shoots 3. Accelerates shoot growth and plant height. 4. Accelerates photosynthesis. 5. Stimulates plant growth. 6. Accelerates root growth. 7. Increases nitrogen content in the soil. 8. Increases crop yields. 9. Plants become more robust and resistant to pests and diseases. The negative impacts of excessive urea fertilizer application are: 1. Creates dependency 2. Can make plants susceptible to pests and pathogens 3. Reduces soil fertility, as excessive urea fertilizer application makes the soil acidic 4. Threatens the habitat of microorganisms in the soil. Therefore, be wise in using inorganic fertilizers.
