6 Urea s Reaction Produces NH 3 Gas 2 NH 3 ammonia gas on soil surface or in flood -H 2 O & CO 2 CO(NH 2 ) 2 (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 2 NH OH - urea urease (ph ~ alkaline) ammonium salt in soil Note: Urea s reaction in soil initially is alkaline and increases soil ph causing ammonia volatilization loss if not incorporated in soil quickly. Slide borrowed from R. Norman
