It is one of the most widely used fertilizers on the market since it can also be used as a pre-fertilizer and does not increase the salinity of the water, but it has several disadvantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Urea is apolar, therefore its efficiency decreases in the drip irrigation system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Generates changes in the PH of the soil.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Generates a high concentration of ammonium, which affects the absorption of cations, such as potassium.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong> It is not compatible with calcareous soils.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is unstable so it can easily decompose and release ammonia and carbon dioxide.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If urea contains more than 2% impurities, it cannot be used as a fertilizer, as it would be toxic to the crop.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ferti-Organic\u2019s amino acids<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to urea, Ferti-Organic\u2019s amino acids are organic and <strong>have concentrations of up to 80% amino acids and short-chain polypeptides,<\/strong> which help crops absorb nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amino Acids are a plant-based soluble powder made from soy protein.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to its concentration of plant nitrogen, <strong>it is ideal for nitrogen-deficient crops.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our amino acids are quick-release, so they allow for fast absorption and metabolization of the plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignundefined wp-image-57713 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0-700x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/news-letter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FO-POSTFB-INFOGRAFIA-FERTIAMINO-202102-V0.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of Ferti-Organic\u2019s amino acids<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They do not cause burns on the tip of the plants, unlike other sources of synthetic nitrates or ammoniacal nitrogen.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They supply vegetal organic nitrogen, peptides and amino acids.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They greatly improve the transport of minerals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong> They do not affect your fields or the environment<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thanks to enzymatic hydrolysis that produces a smaller particle size,<strong> the 45%, 60% and 80% amino acids offer highly soluble nitrogen.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, Ferti-Organic\u2019s amino acids have multiple benefits for your crops, so don&#8217;t worry about the shortage of urea and improve your crops naturally. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferti-organic.com\/contact\"><strong>Learn about all the benefits of our products and order your amino acids today.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently, the agricultural sector has faced a shortage of urea, which is one of the most used fertilizers in the industry and one that you have probably used in your crops.
