UDP: Background and Benefits v Urea is the most common
nitrogen fertilizer for rice
v 1-3 g briquettes (USG)*, in root zone at transplanting
v Slower release = nutrient
use efficiency improves
v Negligible losses to air and water
* USG—Urea Supergranule
IFDC How to Prepare USG
Prilled Urea
Rollers
Briquettes
USG is produced from prilled or granular urea by pressing the urea with rollers in a briquette machine of 1.8 and 2.7 grams.

IFDC
Impacts of Development in Bangladesh Impact Indicator Results
UDP Area and Number of Farmers 1,500,000 ha; 2,800,000
Gross Margin $560/ha under UDP $430/ha under broadcast
Small Businesses Producing Briquettes 932
Incremental Rice Production and Value 1.35 million Tons; $477 million
Urea savings 200,000 Tons
Savings in government subsidy on urea $65 million
