A fertilizer composition including a) one or more solid nitrogen sources, and b) a liquid fertilizer additive composition.

Disclosed are compositions and methods of making a liquid fertilizer additive solution of polymeric and/or oligomeric heterocyclic nitrogen containing nitrification inhibitors comprising a non-aqueous polar, aprotic organo liquid (NAPAOL) as the reaction medium for the reaction of aldehyde(s) with heterocyclic nitrogen containing nitrification inhibitors that have one or more aldehyde reactive groups selected from the group consisting of a) primary, b) secondary amines, c) amides, d) thiols, e) hydroxyls and f) phenols. Fertilizer compositions are disclosed comprising of a) one or more polymeric and/or oligomeric heterocyclic nitrogen containing nitrification inhibitors adducts from the reaction of aldehyde(s) with heterocyclic nitrogen containing nitrification inhibitors that have one or more aldehyde reactive groups selected from the group consisting of a) primary, b) secondary amines, c) amides, d) thiols, e) hydroxyls and f) phenols b) a non-aqueous organo solvent delivery system (NOSDS), and c) one or more nitrogen sources.

The present invention relates to increasing and/or maintaining nitrogen content in soil by administration of nitrogen sources particles coated with urease inhibitors. In one embodiment, urease inhibitors are dispersed in an improved organo liquid delivery system at concentration levels of 60-95%. In another embodiment, urease inhibitors were applied in a non-aqueous, organo liquid delivery system coating nitrogen sources particles utilizing simple blending equipment at temperatures of 20°-70° C. Another embodiment discloses dry, flowable nitrogen sources coated with a urease inhibitor which can be administered directly to the soil, to a dry natural and/or a manmade fertilizer or to a liquid fertilizer which provides for the reduction of nitrogen loss from the soil. In another embodiment, a composition of urea and <0.2% dimethyl sulfoxide improves the crush resistance of the urea particles.

A method of making one or more alkyl thiophosphoric triamides.

The present invention comprises one or more organic solvents that create a non-aqueous organo solvent delivery system, (NOSDS), and one or more Organo Polycarboxylate functionalities, OPCF, that results in a stable, non-aqueous solution that can easily, safely, evenly and economically coat nitrogen source granules and/or be added to a mobile liquid form of a nitrogen source such as an aqueous dispersion, pressurized ammonia gas or molten urea and/or molten modified urea. Using these solvents provides more flexibility for nitrogen source manufacturers to produce nitrogen sources designed for a particular soil or plant. The liquid solutions are comprised of NOSDS and OPCFs and one or more of a) nitrification inhibitors, b) urease inhibitors, c) pesticides, d) fungicides, e) herbicides, f) insecticides and g) micronutrients.

Methods are disclosed for the manufacture of nitrogenous phosphoryl compounds as fluid compositions utilizing a reaction medium comprising one or more aprotic organic liquids that are not reactive with one or more phosphoryl chlorides functional groups and optionally one or more non-aqueous organic liquids as processing aides that result in fluid products for delivering the resulting nitrogenous phosphoryl compounds to the surface of a substrate. Methods are disclosed that eliminate the need for one or more of the following: 1) purifying of one or more nitrogenous phosphoryl compounds, 2) stripping of volatile organic solvents, 3) removal of inorganic by-products, 4) generating solid nitrogenous phosphoryl compounds, 5) packaging one or more solid nitrogenous compounds, and 6) dissolving the solid nitrogenous phosphoryl compounds into a liquid delivery system for application to the surface of a substrate. Methods are disclosed that lower the overall manufacturing cost, wherein said fluid nitrogenous phosphoryl compositions comprise liquid solutions, fluid colloids, and fluid suspensions. Fluidized nitrogenous phosphoryl compounds are applied onto fertilizer solid surfaces using simple blending equipment that commingle the composition with solid granules allowing farmers and small co-ops access to high tech, state of the art fertilizers at lower cost.

An improved solvent system for the formulation and application of N-alkyl thiophosphoric triamide urease inhibitors. These formulations provide safety and performance benefits relative to existing alternatives and enable storage, transport and subsequent coating or blending with urea based or organic based fertilizers. These formulations are comprised primarily of environmentally friendly aprotic and protic solvents (particularly dimethyl sulfoxide and alcohols/polyols) to stabilize the urease inhibitor.
