Microencapsulated nitrification inhibitor composition

摘要

The present invention relates to an improved nitrification inhibitor composition and its use in agricultural applications. (Trichloromethyl) pyridine compounds useful in the composition of the present invention include compounds having a pyridine ring which is substituted with at least one trichloromethyl group and mineral acid salts thereof. Suitable compounds include those containing chlorine or methyl substituents on the pyridine ring in addition to a trichloromethyl group, and are inclusive of chlorination products of methyl pyridines such as lutidine, collidine and picoline.
