If you were spreading the urea as granules, maybe. The actual recommendation is
for 44 lb urea per A, which is about 20 lb N. Since this is in solution and
should ideally be put on leaves on the tree after harvest, or in the fall on
leaves on the ground, not much if any of that gets to the soil.
Rates I've seen to assist with litter decomposition are 50# urea per acre.
Using 25# cal nit makes my leaf/fruit samples test way too high N. Adding
50# urea/acre will blow the Universities testing machinery off the planet!

If you’re not chopping leaves, do that first. Then worry about the extra urea.

I really question whether the urea will do much extra good given the cool
spring ambient and soil temperatures?
Good luck.

So - I applied urea in a spray last november, but I am not impressed with the
breakdown of the apple leaf litter - I just ordered oil and copper for the
first spray this spring and I wonder about adding urea into the mix in hopes of
accelerating decomposition - - any reason not too?
