Putting high quantity of urea in plants can cause many side
Putting high quantity of urea in plants can cause many side effects. Urea is a major nitrogen fertilizer, but its excess can cause damage to both plant and soil.
🌿 Side effects caused by adding more urea:
1. Burning of the roots of plants (root burn): More urea releases ammonia gas in the soil, which can irritate the roots and stop their growth.
2. Yellow or scorching leaves: The leaves can be green due to excessive nitrogen, but they can also scorch or turn yellow when they are high. 3. Plants growth to be unbalanced: The plant increases rapidly in leaves and branches but fruits and flowers are less.
4. Impact on soil quality: Excess urea increases the acidity in the soil, which can lead to beneficial microorganisms.
5. Nitrate leakage in water: Nitrate with excessive urea can dissolve in water and pollute ground water.
6. Increased chances of pests and diseases: The attack of pests and diseases may increase due to highly soft and juicy leaves.
✅ Rescue measures:
• Add fertilizer only by doing soil testing.
• Use urea in balanced quantity (eg 45–60 kg nitrogen/hectare, according to crop).
• Urea should be divided on time and not in excess.
• Use neem coated urea-it slowly releases nitrogen.
• Keep with organic manure and compost.
