IFDC 
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.

Incremental Rice Yield with UDP 
Compared to Broadcast Urea
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
IFDC 
Thank You
