Which of the following fertilizers is a straight fertilizer that supplies only nitrogen as a primary plant nutrient?
Urea
Urea is a straight fertilizer, meaning it supplies only a single primary nutrient rather than a combination, and that nutrient is nitrogen, which it delivers in a highly concentrated form.
Diammonium Phosphate supplies both nitrogen and phosphorus, Muriate of Potash supplies potassium, and Single Superphosphate mainly supplies phosphorus, so none of these are nitrogen-only straight fertilizers.
This makes Urea the correct answer as the nitrogen-only straight fertilizer among the options.
