The present invention relates to increasing longevity of the nitrogen content of soil through improved liquid delivery formulations of nitrification inhibitors. The liquid formulation can also be comprised of nitrification inhibitors and optionally urease inhibitors that are blended solutions of each. The nitrification inhibitors are present in a mixture that comprises both a protic and an aprotic solvent system. The novel formulations are designed to be applied to fertilizers, especially urea and manure based fertilizers. The delivery formulations provide an environmentally sound and inherently safe solvating system that improves the storage stability of the urease inhibitors by utilizing liquid organic non-water containing solvents, maintains the nitrification inhibitors in solution to storage temperatures of at least 10° C., and provides improved application to fertilizer of nitrification inhibitors. These delivery formulations enable safe storage, transport and subsequent application or blending with urea-based or manure-based fertilizers that can be applied to soil in either a liquid or granular form to provide improved nitrogen retention in the soil for uptake for plant life.

An inhibitor composition contains alkyl thiophosphoric triamide (or a mixture of alkyl thiophosphoric triamide and dicyandiamide), dissolved in a liquid medium comprising at least one organic solvent, at least one amine stabilizer and, optionally, at least one dye and/or at least one odor masking agent, is useful in making fertilizer compositions and in a method of fertilizing target plants.

A heat transfer circuit that includes a main flow path for a working fluid that extends through a compressor, a condenser, an expander, and an evaporator. The working fluid includes CF.sub.3I. The heat transfer circuit also includes an additive stream configured to supply additive for the CF.sub.3I to the working fluid in the main flow path based on a discharge temperature of the compressor. A method for operating a heat transfer circuit that includes directing a working fluid including CF.sub.3I through a main flow path of the heat transfer circuit. The method also includes changing a concentration of additive for the CF.sub.3I based on a discharge temperature of the working fluid from the compressor.

The present invention comprises one or more organic solvents that create a non-aqueous organo solvent delivery system, (NOSDS), and one or more Organo Polycarboxylate functionalities, OPCF, that results in a stable, non-aqueous solution that can easily, safely, evenly and economically coat nitrogen source granules and/or be added to a mobile liquid form of a nitrogen source such as an aqueous dispersion, pressurized ammonia gas or molten urea and/or molten modified urea. Using these solvents provides more flexibility for nitrogen source manufacturers to produce nitrogen sources designed for a particular soil or plant. The liquid solutions are comprised of NOSDS and OPCFs and one or more of a) nitrification inhibitors, b) urease inhibitors, c) pesticides, d) fungicides, e) herbicides, f) insecticides and g) micronutrients.
