Mixing highly alkaline materials with urea fertilizer will result in the loss of nitrogen in the form of ammonia. Unused excess urea causes "salts" to build up in the soil mixture, drawing water away from plant roots and causing "fertilizer burns" visible as brown leaf edges and plant centers. Excessive use of urea fertilizers causes excessive formation of ammonia in the soil, makes the soil acidic in nature and reduces its fertility, which should act as a drag on the urea fertilizer market. Safer to transport and handle, urea is less corrosive to equipment, has a higher analysis rate than any other dry nitrogen fertilizer, and can be used on almost any crop. Urea is also produced on a large scale for use as a fertilizer, although there are other uses in, medicine and even car exhaust cleaning. The use of urea in the production of urea-formaldehyde resins is second only to its use as a fertilizer. Urea can also be dissolved in water and used to soak soil or otherwise dispensed with irrigation water or applied as a foliar spray.
