This disclosure relates to fugitive color systems and storage-stable fugitive colored liquid long-term fire retardant compositions comprising a fugitive color system. The fugitive color system comprises a fugitive color pigment. In particular, disclosed herein is the identification of fugitive color pigments exhibiting hydrophilic or diminished hydrophobic tendencies. And, in certain aspects, the fugitive color pigment is fluorescent.

The present invention is directed to methods of treating a plant having a plant part. One method involves providing a plant having a plant part; applying an aqueous treatment formulation to the plant, where the aqueous treatment formulation comprises a thickener, a water soluble divalent salt, a foam control agent, a complexing agent, a film forming agent, and water; and harvesting the plant part, where the aqueous treatment formulation, when applied to a surface of a plant, creates a water fast film on the surface that permits permeation of an aqueous material to the plant while minimizing loss of moisture or loss of a plant treatment chemical from the plant as compared to when the composition is not applied to the surface of the plant. The present invention also relates to a methods of treating a harvested plant part and to the treated harvested plant parts.

A method for fabricating a dry composition is disclosed including combining a solid carbonate or a solid bicarbonate compound, a solid acid yielding compound, a biostimulant, and a plant nutrient. The dry composition may be processed into a tablet, dry powder, meal, or pellets and produce effervescence when a liquid, such as water or a water-based liquid is mixed with the dry composition.

An arrangement (100) for production of fully soluble, pure and well defined mono- or di-ammonium phosphates, comprises an extraction section (10), a stripping section (20) and end treatment arrangements (90). The extraction section performs a liquid-liquid extraction of phosphate between a feed liquid (1) comprising phosphoric acid and being essentially free from nitrate ions, and a solvent (5) having a solubility in water of less than 2%. The stripping section performs a liquid-liquid extraction of phosphate between solvent loaded with phosphate and a strip solution (4). The solvent depleted in phosphate is recirculated to the extraction section for further extraction of phosphate. The strip solution is an aqueous ammonium phosphate solution, wherein at least 80% of the ammonium phosphate is monoammonium phosphate and/or wherein the solvent is a water-immiscible alcohol. The end treatment arrangements comprise a source of ammonia (60), an adding arrangement (70), a cooling arrangement (50), a precipitate remover (40) and a recirculation system (80).
