Urea Fertilizer

Urea Fertilizer is a nitrogen supplement that layers over your regular feed. Mix 2 teaspoons per gallon of water and apply once a week in spring and summer, dropping to every 4–8 weeks in fall and winter as growth slows. A hose-end sprayer set to the 2 teaspoon setting covers lawns and beds quickly, and an optional leaf misting at 1 teaspoon per quart once a week adds a foliar boost. Because one feeding delivers both quick nitrate and slower-converting urea, the weekly schedule keeps the supply steady without stacking up.

If it’s a nitrogen shortage, the pattern is uniform yellowing that starts on the oldest, lowest leaves, or an overall pale, washed-out green across a lawn, because your plant moves nitrogen out of old growth to feed new. That pattern is what Urea Fertilizer is formulated for, and the nitrate and ammoniacal fractions respond within days. Yellowing between the veins on new leaves is a different signal, usually iron or magnesium, which nitrogen won’t fix; the formula carries no micronutrients, so that calls for a different feed.

Urea Fertilizer is a dilute liquid feed, and dilution is what matters here. Fertilizer burn happens when concentrated salts sit against the roots: too much product in too little water, or granular urea concentrated in prills on the surface. Mixed at 2 teaspoons per gallon and applied once a week in the growing season, the nitrogen arrives in solution at a strength the roots take up as they water, spread evenly across the whole area. Apply to soil that isn’t bone dry, and hold off on drought-stressed turf until it has been watered.

The three numbers are the percentages of nitrogen, phosphate and potash: Urea Fertilizer is 15% nitrogen with no phosphate and no potash. Nitrogen is the nutrient plants use most and soils run out of first, while many soils already hold plenty of phosphorus and potassium. A nitrogen-only formula corrects the actual shortfall, either alone for a quick green-up or layered over a balanced base feed, without pushing other nutrients out of balance. The nitrogen comes in three forms, 10% urea, 2.5% ammoniacal and 2.5% nitrate, plus sea kelp.

Yes. Leafy crops such as lettuce, spinach, cabbage and other brassicas, and sweet corn respond strongly to nitrogen, and Urea Fertilizer gives them the push for leaf and stem growth. For fruiting crops such as tomatoes and peppers, use it early in the season while your plant is building its frame, then ease off once flowering starts; heavy nitrogen late pushes leaves at the expense of fruit. Keep it at 2 teaspoons per gallon alongside your regular complete fertilizer, since it supplies nitrogen only.

Fast. The nitrate and ammoniacal fractions in Urea Fertilizer are absorbed within days, and most lawns and leafy plants visibly green up inside the first week. The 10% urea fraction converts in the soil over several weeks, so one feeding delivers a quick correction and then a steady supply behind it. Leaves that have fully yellowed won’t re-green, but new growth comes in deep green, and long-starved plants keep improving over a season of steady weekly feeding.
