Currently, price differences between the nitrogen fertilizers are less than the historical spreads. On March 31, prices were $.37 per pound for ammonia, $.41 for urea, and $.47 for liquid N. Currently, urea has a $.04 higher price than anhydrous ammonia, compared to a $.09 historical average.
Ammonium nitrate is formulated by combining anhydrous ammonia and nitric acid in a very corrosive manufacturing climate. Solution liquid fertilizers (28 to 32 percent nitrogen) are composed of one-half urea and one-half ammonium nitrate.It's pretty hard to apply a nitrogen fertilizer formulation that doesn't have natural gas in its manufacturing process.n some cases, the price has gone up 50 percent or more, but why is it increasing? The price of nitrogen fertilizers is directly related to the price of natural gas (methane). Manufacturing 1 ton of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer requires 33,500 cubic feet of natural gas.
