Urea: Chemical Properties and Fertilizer Use by sikuet is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Urea is a widely used organic compound with the formula (NH2)2CO. It was first synthesized in 1828 and has since become a major nitrogenous fertilizer due to its high solubility and neutral pH. Over 90% of industrial urea production is used as a fertilizer source of nitrogen. Urea has advantages of being non-toxic, nonflammable, and soluble in water without changing the pH.
