[QUOTE="luke03cr, post: 1000092, member: 18406"] Both urea and ammoniam nitrate are great N fertilizers, both have there advantages. I prefer urea in the spring bc it is fairly stable with cool temps and adequte mosture. The big advantage i see in urea is the pounds of N per bag compared to ammonium nitrate witch is 34% per bag compared to ureas 46% per bag of N. which breaks down to roughly 17# of N in a bag of Ammonium nitrate, an 24# of N in a bag of urea. Which would be 680# of N per ton of ammonium nitrate and 980# of N for urea per ton. The big concern with both is the volitilty of the feetilizer. Ammonium nitrate is better in the fall bc it is not as volitile in heat as is urea. But urea is very stable in cool weather, with soil moisture long as is is rained on with a few days of spreading. A good rule of thumb is the ammonium nitrate needs rain before u spread and urea needs rain after u spread. [/QUOTE]
