| Summary: | <p>Urea is one of the most widely used nitrogen fertilizers worldwide. More than 90% of the world's production of urea is used as fertilizer [1a]. Soil bacteria containing urease enzyme, catalyze the conversion of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide via ammonium carbonate formation and decomposition. Nitrogen from urea can be lost to the atmosphere as a gas if fertilizer urea remains on the soil surface for an extended time period during warm weather. Urea breakdown can begin as soon as it is applied to the soil. In the presence of the urease enzyme and a small amount of soil moisture, urea hydrolysis occurs and nitrogen is lost due to ammonia volatilization [1-5].</p><p><br></p> |
