Q99. How quickly does nitrogen volatilise from applied urea?
Nitrogen from urea can begin volatilising within 24–48 hours after dissolving, especially under warm, windy conditions and on wet soils that are drying.
Q97. How much nitrogen does organic matter release over the season, and how quickly does it become available?
Organic matter can release around 39 kg/ha of nitrogen per year under typical conditions, with availability depending on temperature, moisture, and microbial activity.
