MCQ
Urea is preferred to ammonium sulphate as a nitrogeneous fertilizer because
- AIt is more soluble in water
- BIt is cheaper than ammonium sulphate
- CIt is quite stable
- ✓It does not cause acidity in the soil
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
It does not cause acidity in the soil
d
Urea is preferred to ammonium sulfate soluble in water as a nitrogenous fertilizer because It does not cause acidity in the soil. Also, urea is the best soluble nitrogenous fertilizer as it leaves only carbon dioxide after ammonia has been assimilated by weight. It contains nearly $47 \,\%$ of nitrogen by weight.
