MSB is right, N is N, but the availability and loss potential are different between liquid and urea. Urea has to be converted to nitrate for the plants to take up. Liquid N is already half nitrate, so less susceptible to losses, by half anyway. The challenge with dry granular products is uniform spreading, most spinning disc spreaders can't acheive it so air spreaders should be used.
