Product Overview
Description
Wicked Growth 46-0-0 Urea Fertilizer delivers the highest nitrogen concentration available in a solid fertilizer, making it the most efficient and economical source of nitrogen for lawns, corn, leafy vegetables, and any application demanding rapid green-up and vigorous vegetative growth.
Urea is the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer in the world because it delivers more nitrogen per dollar than any alternative. When applied to soil, urease enzymes convert urea to plant-available ammonium within days, providing quick response in yellowed lawns and nitrogen-starved crops.
Essential for corn growers who need economical nitrogen for maximum yield, lawn care professionals managing large properties, and vegetable gardeners growing nitrogen-demanding leafy greens.
Highlights
• 46% Nitrogen – Maximum concentration
• Most economical N source
• Rapid soil conversion
• Quick green-up response
• Professional-grade purity
The Science Behind It
How It Works
Urea is the most concentrated solid nitrogen fertilizer available, delivering 46% nitrogen in a highly soluble form. When applied to soil, urease enzymes convert urea to ammonium within 2-4 days, then soil bacteria convert ammonium to nitrate—both forms plants can absorb. This two-step conversion provides both quick-release and sustained nitrogen availability. Urea can also be dissolved in water for foliar application, providing rapid nitrogen uptake through leaf surfaces.
The Science
Urea [(NH₂)₂CO] contains nitrogen in an organic form that requires enzymatic conversion before plant uptake. Soil urease enzymes hydrolyze urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia quickly converts to ammonium (NH₄⁺), which binds to soil particles and resists leaching. Nitrifying bacteria then convert ammonium to nitrate (NO₃⁻), the form most plants preferentially absorb. This conversion sequence provides nitrogen availability over 1-4 weeks depending on soil temperature and moisture.
Nutrients Available
46% Total Nitrogen – Maximum nitrogen concentration for rapid greening, vigorous leaf and stem growth, increased chlorophyll production, enhanced protein synthesis, and improved photosynthetic capacity. Apply carefully—high concentration requires precise application rates to avoid burn.
How to Apply
1-2 lbs/100 sq ft every 4-6 weeks. Severe deficiency: 2-3 lbs initially.
1
Action:
Survey garden bed and note deficiency symptoms. Map high-need zones.
Pro Tip:
Sandy areas and fruiting sections need more K than shaded areas.
Avoid:
Don't leave granules on surface in hot weather - damages plants.
2
Action:
Calculate 1-2 lbs per 100 sq ft. For 10x20 garden (200 sq ft), use 2-4 lbs.
Pro Tip:
Weigh fertilizer on kitchen scale. One cup 0-0-60 weighs ~0.5 lb.
Avoid:
Don't exceed 2 lbs per 100 sq ft per application. Split heavy doses.
3
Action
Broadcast granules evenly across soil surface. Work into top 2-3 inches with cultivator.
Pro Tip:
Sandy areas and fruiting sections need more K than shaded areas.
Avoid:
Don't spread on windy days - granules drift causing uneven application.
4
Action
Water thoroughly with 1-2 inches to dissolve granules and move K into root zone.
Pro Tip:
Incorporation prevents salt buildup and gets K to roots faster.
Avoid:
Don't leave granules on surface in hot weather - damages plants.
