LIQUID COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING UREASE INHIBITORS AND ARYL ALKYL ALCOHOLS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention provides improved solvent systems for the preparation of liquid formulations of urease inhibitors, specifically NEWT, comprising aryl alkyl alcohols. The solvent systems provided good solubility of the urease inhibitor as well as at least one of improved stability, lower flammability, lower toxicity, improved cold temperature storage, improved handling, improved adsorption onto and/or solubility with solid media such as urea. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided.

主权项

1. A solid urea-based fertilizer composition comprising:
a. urea; b. from about 0.02 wt. % to about 0.12 wt. % NBPT based on the total weight of the fertilizer composition; and c. from about 0.03 wt. % to about 0.35 wt. % aryl alkyl alcohol based on the total weight of the fertilizer composition, wherein said aryl alkyl alcohol has the general formula (II)and further wherein each of R1-R5 can be hydrogen, deuterium, fluorine, bromine, iodine, chlorine, or an alkyl group.
