No, absolutely not. Both contains nitrogen(Urea-46% and DAP-18%). High dose of nitrogen burns the plant root. If you want to use then apply little amount(3 granules of urea and 5 granules of DAP) in pot. Both should be used separately in one week gap.

But advice is to use fresh soil + cow manure. It is sufficient for plant growth.

yea, well drain, porous well aerated, well enrich soil with compost of well rotted leaves and manure and having the soil ph 7 is enough for lush gree growth of plant. Bhal and loamy soil are the best to use.
