Hi All , After noticing that the grass in the hay field responded twofold to a small amount of chicken manure that my wife spread there with a pitchfork I decided to fertilize two days ago . I spread 46-0-0 at a rate of 150lbs per acre on everything including the alfalfa ( less than 50% mix now ) which is in about two acres of the six acre field . My question is - How many different strengths of urea are there ? What I got has a analysis of 69lbs of actual N per acre spread at the rate of 150lbs per acre at $542 a ton , I used 900lbs . I got lucky this time around and had just a trace of rain to wash it in instead of down the hill . Two+ inches is forecast for tonight and tomorrow though . I crawled around looking for fertilizer pellets yesterday and found none so the rain might not wash it all away even though the ground here is saturated . I hope I notice a improvement this time around . Last time I fertilized ( last year ) I got over an inch of rain and most of it washed away and the time before that no rain for weeks and it all evaporated or something . Thanks ! ...Randy

Urea is very water soluble, it should stay where you've put it now. Used to sell it.

Urea is 46-0-0. One strength only. What that analysis actually means is that you get 46 pounds of actual N per 100 pounds of product... so if you put 150 pounds per acre of product on, then you got 69 pounds of actual N.

Its not carrier. Its the other part of the urea formula, which is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Carrier? As far as I know, when you buy AN or Urea, that's all you get. Just a plain white granule. I don't rightly know what goes into making the urea, so can't help you there.
The blends that we get are cut down with sand if they need to be cut.

I used to know all this stuff . Back in my high school days I went to a vocational-technical school studying horticulture . But haven't thought about it since I graduated since I pursued a completely different path through life . So now that I need this information I can't remember any of it . A little prompting sometimes brings a little back to me though . I seem to remember that urea is just that -urine . I just Googled it . It is now synthesized . In it's natural form it is a component of urine manufactured in the kidney's as a waste product by all mammals . Synthetic urea is created from synthetic ammonia and carbon dioxide forming ammonium carbamate . Pretty interesting reading . Thanks for the nudge to find it for myself ! ...Randy

Years ago they used creek gravel around here. Don't know if that's changed.
