Farmers warned against excessive urea use

Farmers are being told not to use too much urea, which is a type of fertilizer.

Using too much urea can hurt the soil, make more pests, cost more money, and pollute the air and water.

Scientists say farmers should use a mix of 4 parts urea to 2 parts of other things, but many farmers are using up to 7 parts urea.

There are better ways to use urea, like using a small bottle of nano urea instead of a big bag, and testing the soil to use less urea.

Using neem-coated urea can also help plants get the right amount of nutrients over a longer time.
