The invention provides a method and a plant for producing urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). The method involves the use of a condensation section, optionally in combination with a medium pressure decomposition section, between the dissociation and neutralization sections. The invention further provides a method of modifying an existing UAN plant. The advantages of the process of the invention are that the emission of CO.sub.2 can be reduced, the plant capacity can be increased and the high capital expenditure needed for CO.sub.2 compression equipment is reduced.

The present invention relates to compositions for increasing a nitrogen source life span in plant growth mediums as well as methods of making these compositions. The invention also relates to compositions and methods of reacting a nitrogen source with one or more nitrification inhibitors using standard equipment for producing nitrogen sourced particles.

A fertilizer supplying animal nutrients including a core particle having an outer surface and comprising compounds containing animal nutrients, and a coating of urea on the outer surface of the core particle, and further a process of making the fertilizer including the steps of: screening animal nutrient core particles comprising a powdered substance containing an animal nutrient, to a preselected particle size; spraying melted urea onto the surface of the nutrient core particles to produce a coating on the nutrient core particles; granulating the nutrient core particles with sprayed melted urea to produce nutrient core granules; and cooling the nutrient core granules.

Reaction products and methods for making and using such reaction products are provided. For example, a reaction product comprising an adduct formed from urea, formaldehyde, and a urease inhibitor is described, which can be provided in various forms. For example, such a reaction product can be in the form of a solid or solution. Such a reaction product can also be combined with one or more additional components, including but not limited to, additional urease inhibitor and/or a nitrogen-based fertilizer composition.

A lubricated agricultural mixture and method(s) of use thereof is described. Embodiments of the lubricated agricultural mixture can include a carbon source, a fertilizer, a binder, and a hydrogel. The lubricated agricultural mixture can be formed into tablets, granules, and wafers. The different forms of the lubricated agricultural mixture can be implemented in various situations. For instance, the table form can be distributed via machinery such that the carbon source acts as a lubricant for the machinery to minimize wear on the machinery.
