Universities cooperate on urea management guide

Bozeman-Professors from Montana State University, the University of Idaho, and Washington State University collaborated on a publication to address concerns raised by urea fertilizer’s ability to “volatilize” into a gas. The document first addresses the factors that affect volatilization, then focuses on management practices to minimize volatilization from farmers’ fields. The document can be viewed on the internet at http://landresources.montana.edu/SoilFertility/ammonvolat.html. It can also be obtained from Extension Publications by calling (406) 994-3273, or via email at orderpubs@montana.edu.
