Incitec Pivot Granular Urea 25kg – 46% High Nitrogen Urea Fertiliser for Lawns, Pastures and Crops

Incitec Pivot Urea Fertiliser with 46% Nitrogen

Incitec Pivot Granular Urea is a concentrated urea fertiliser containing 46% nitrogen (46-0-0), making it the highest-analysis solid nitrogen fertiliser available. That high nitrogen content drives strong leaf and stem growth, deep green colour and fast recovery, which is why it is a staple for pastures, cereals, sugarcane, vegetables, fruit and turf, as well as home lawns and gardens. This is the 25kg bag, suited to larger lawns, farms and regular use.

A High Nitrogen Fertiliser for Fast Green-Up

Nitrogen is the nutrient plants use most for leafy growth and colour. As a high nitrogen fertiliser with no phosphorus or potassium, urea is used when the goal is a quick, strong push of growth, or to top up nitrogen in a balanced feeding program. Applied correctly, it gives one of the fastest green-ups of any nitrogen fertiliser, which is why Incitec Pivot fertilisers like granular urea are widely used by farmers, turf managers and home gardeners alike.

Using Urea for Lawns

Urea for lawns gives a fast, deep green colour and strong growth, especially in spring and summer when grass is actively growing. As a general home-lawn guide, a light feed is around 1kg per 100m² and a fuller feed around 2kg per 100m², applied lightly and more often rather than in one heavy dose. When putting urea on grass, spread it evenly and water it in straight away. For crops and pastures, follow your soil test or agronomic advice for the correct rate.

Water It In to Stop Nitrogen Loss

The single most important step is to water it in. Surface-applied urea can lose a large share of its nitrogen to the air as ammonia gas if it is left sitting on top, so water it in within a few hours of spreading, apply just before rain, or work it into the topsoil. Avoid applying to warm, dry soil on hot or windy days, when nitrogen loss is worst. Because urea has a high salt content, do not over-apply and do not leave granules on foliage, as this can burn plants.

Flexible Ways to Apply

Granular urea fertiliser is highly soluble and flexible to use. You can spread it dry with a broadcast spreader, dissolve it in water for a liquid or foliar feed, or run it through fertigation. When dissolving, the water is just a carrier and does not change the nitrogen rate, and warm water helps it dissolve faster.

Livestock Use and Storage

Urea is also used as a non-protein nitrogen supplement for ruminant livestock when correctly blended into feed. Because incorrect mixing can be toxic to stock, only use it this way following proper feed formulation and veterinary or nutritionist advice. Store in a dry, moisture-free place with the bag sealed. Kept dry, granular urea stores well without losing quality. The 25kg bag is heavy, so lift with care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is urea fertiliser?
Urea fertiliser is a solid, highly soluble nitrogen fertiliser made by reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide. Incitec Pivot urea contains 46% nitrogen and comes in granule form.

What is the nitrogen content of Incitec Pivot Granular Urea?
It contains 46% nitrogen, with an analysis of 46-0-0, making it the most concentrated solid nitrogen fertiliser available.

How do I apply granular urea to a lawn?
Use around 1kg per 100m² for a light feed or up to 2kg per 100m² for a fuller feed, applied lightly and often. Spread it evenly and water it in straight away.

Why do I need to water urea in?
Surface-applied urea can lose a significant amount of nitrogen to the air as ammonia gas. Watering in within a few hours, applying before rain or working it into the soil moves the nitrogen into the root zone.

Can urea burn my lawn or plants?
Yes, if misapplied. Urea has a high salt index, so over-applying, or leaving granules on foliage without watering in, can scorch plants. Apply at the correct rate, spread evenly and water in.

Where can I buy urea fertiliser in Australia?
