Coated urea

Coated urea is a special kind of poop for plants that helps them grow big and strong. It starts out as urea, which is like a food for plants. But sometimes the urea can be too strong or too fast for the plants to use all at once.

So, smart scientists made a special coating that goes around the urea. This coating helps the urea slowly break down over time, so that the plant can use it little by little. It's like giving the plant small snacks throughout the day instead of one really big meal.

When the plant gets the coated urea, it feels really happy because it gets just the right amount of food it needs to grow healthy and strong. And that's how coated urea helps the plants.
