Fertecon posts the prices daily I have access to them as part of my business. Urea which is granular form of nitrogen has been trading at about 200 per Ton recently. Urea is 46-0-0. The prices I quoted are gulf Nola which is the US market reference price for all product.

Blended is often sold as MAP Or DAP at wholesale. It is more phosphate laden.

These are chemical process manufactured. Urea comes from natural gas and is a combination of ammonia and carbon dioxide. MAP is a combination of phosphate (green phos acid) and ammonia. It is also interacted with sulphuric.

Farmers need high nitrogen content to grow corn , soy, wheat, cotton and canola. They generally want nitrogen content from 28% to 86%. Ammonia is 80% nitrogen and used pre planting and urea and uan used post planting.

The product produced by ecos is not useable in these farming applications. It works well in home gardening and some annual plant production.

Hope this helps.
