THE PILOT PROCEEDED TO THE JOB SITE WITH A LOAD OF UREA. HE CIRCLED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WAITING FOR THE FLAGMEN TO ARRIVE, THEN ELECTED TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. AS HE LEVELED THE PLANE, HE EXPERIENCED A GRADUAL LOSS OF POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE. WHILE MAKING A FORCED LANDING, HE TRUNED TO AVOID A TREE. DURING THE TURN, THE AIRCRAFT STALLED AND IMPACTED THE GROUND. THE OPERATOR BELIEVED THAT THE ENGINE LOST POWER AFTER HAVING A BLOWER FAILURE. HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT VERIFIED BY AN ENGINE TEARDOWN.
