THE USE OF AN OIL-BASED COMPOSITION FOR REDUCING AMMONIA VOLATILIZATION IN UREA-BASED FERTILIZER APPLICATION

摘要

Use of an oil-based composition comprising boron-containing particles, for the reduction of ammonia volatilization upon application of urea-based fertilizer particles to soil, wherein the urea-based fertilizer particles are coated with the oil-based composition comprising boron-containing particles prior to their application to soil; characterized in that the boron-containing particles essentially consist of a material with a low water solubility of less than 10 g/L at 25°C; and at least 95 % of the boron-containing particles have a particle size in the range of 0.1 and 60 um, as measured by laser diffraction analysis.
