CONCENTRATED COMPOSITION FOR PLANT NUTRITION
A concentrated composition for plant nutrition. The composition includes a polymeric stabilizing agent having a high number of polar hydrophilic groups, such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), comprising calcium ions, sulfate ions and salts of other elements for plant nutrition. The concentration of calcium ions and sulfate ions and other essential elements exceeds the concentration corresponding to the normal solubility of calcium sulfate and other insoluble salts in water. The proportion of the polymeric stabilizing agent having a high number of polar hydrophilic groups is within a range of 1% and 99% w/w of the suspension. The availability of the nutrient elements is assured within a pH range of 1 to 13.
Urea ammonium sulphate-based composition and method for the manufacture thereof
The invention relates to a homogeneous, solid, particulate, urea ammonium sulphate (UAS)-based composition comprising urea ammonium sulphate, a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide and magnesium sulphate, characterized in that the UAS-based composition comprises 0.02 to 1 weight % of magnesium sulphate, 0.0001 to 1 weight % of the urease inhibitor and about 5 to about 30 weight % of ammonium sulphate. The composition according to the invention has improved properties for reducing ammonia loss by urease activity in the soil and is in particular suitable as a fertilizer. The invention further relates to a method for the manufacture of a homogeneous, solid, particulate urea ammonium sulphate-based composition comprising urea, ammonium sulphate and a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, in particular N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (nBTPT), as well as to a composition of kit of parts comprising an amount of a) magnesium sulphate; b) a urease inhibitor of the type phosphoric triamide, preferably N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (nBTPT); c) optionally, an alkaline or alkaline-forming compound, selected from the group of calcium oxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, and mixtures thereof, and d) optionally, one or more anti-caking and/or moisture-repellent and/or anti-dust compounds.
