Abstract Two field experiments were conducted to study the effect of prilled urea, neem cake coated urea, dicyandiamide treated urea and urea supergranules applied to a perennial aromatic herb, geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L. Her'.) grown on a sandy loam soil. Application of nitrogen increased the biomass and essential oil yields. Neem cake coated urea significantly increased the yields over prilled urea. There was no residual effect of N levels and N carriers. The concentration and quality of essential oil were not influenced either by levels or carriers of N.
