Does that mean that the urea-N is not available for plant uptake while the AGROTAIN is effectively suppressing the activity of the urease enzyme?
As long as the urea remains as urea, it will not be an effective source of nitrogen for the crop. However, it is likely that all of the urease activity is not suppressed, so some conversion is taking place, although the amount of conversion occurring will be quite small at the initial stage of application. For seed placed or surface applied treatments, this can be a benefit as it helps to assure that N is available when the crop needs it most.
