Field trial evaluates urea-formaldehyde fertilizers' effects on spring wheat yield and quality, indicating significant benefits.

This study aims to assess the impact of new forms of urea-formaldehyde fertilizers on the yield and quality of spring wheat grain.
Conducted microfield experiments in Smolensk region during 2024–2025
Compared several fertilizer treatments including urea, ammonium nitrate, and new urea-formaldehyde formulations
Measured yield, protein content, and nitrogen accumulation in wheat grain.
The application of urea-formaldehyde fertilizers increased wheat yield by 37–65% compared to control
Urea and ammonium nitrate improved yield by 54% and 61% respectively
The highest yield recorded was with UF-1 at 320 g/m, a 65% increase over control
Adding UF-2 raised crude protein content by 1.2%, totaling 11.97%
Nitrogen index increased from 63% to 68% with some fertilizers, confirming better nitrogen absorption.
