Nitrogen #fertilizer is the most widely used and most important type of fertilizer in modern agriculture, of which urea accounts for more than 2/3 of the total nitrogen fertilizer. However, urea is quickly decomposed in the #soil by soil urease, which is ubiquitous in the #environment, resulting in the waste of a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer resources, thereby increasing the cost of crop production, and bringing about a series of problems such as soil compaction and #environmental pollution. Adding urease inhibitor to nitrogen fertilizer is a modern #agricultural #technology developed and promoted internationally in recent years.
