Does
Urea spread as well as other fertilisers?
Using
the correct calibrated spreader for the
recommended urea type, urea spreads accurately.
Recent spreader trials on granular urea to bouts of
24 metres produced a very low coefficient of variance of 7%.
Granular urea (specification 2 -4mm) is a premium quality
product with a low cost per unit of N. The granulometry
and density are adequate for broadcasting application bouts
of up to 24 metres. Granular urea arguably has sufficient
characteristics to spread as well as any other product on the market.
Prilled urea (specification 1 - 3mm) is ideal for broadcasting
up to 12 metres or application through a pneumatic type spreader.
Prilled product is most suited for use in liquids.
