NPK compound fertilizer production line manufacturers talk about sulfur use methods
NPK compound fertilizer production line manufacturers often use sulfur to reduce soil pH value and improve saline alkali soil in agriculture. However, the use of sulfur as nutrient fertilizer in agricultural production has not attracted people's attention until recently. Sulfur is an inert, insoluble yellow crystalline solid. Commercially, it can be stored in the open air, and it remains ...

N-(N-butyl)thiophosphoric triamide/NBPT
Urease inhibitor is a kind of substance that can inhibit the activity of soil urease, and it is a new technology which has been studied in urea or nitrogen compound fertilizer. Using soil urease inhibitor can effectively slow decomposition of urea into ammonia process, reduce soil NH4 + and NH3 concentration, soil fertility and crop fertilizer synchronization. NBPT is the most effective inhibitor ...

Influence of urea fertilizer placement on nitrous oxide production from a silt loam soil
Received for publication April 8, 2009. Urea placement in band or nests has been shown to enhance N use efficiency, but limited work has been done to assess its affect on N2O emissions. This study compared N2O emissions from urea prills applied to an Amsterdam silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Haplustolls) using broadcast, band, and nest placements. Experiments were ...

N-(N-butyl) Thiophosphoric Triamide Solution
N-Butylthiophosphoric triamide (NBPT, hereinafter referred to as "NBPT") is currently one of the most effective soil urease inhibitors. Agricultural fertilizers, mainly nitrogen fertilizers, are quickly decomposed by urease in the soil under normal use. This not only wastes a lot of nitrogen fertilizer resources, but also increases the cost of crop production, and brings a series of problems such ...

Soil Nutrients and Field Health: what you Need to Know
The soil on your field is like the brain to your body. It tells your crops everything they need to know to produce a healthy yield; how many organisms live there, what the pH balance is, whether or not something is performing well… For the brain, if something isn’t performing well, the body can react catastrophically. The same thing happens with soil. If you have too much ...

Coated seeds may enable agriculture on marginal lands
A specialized silk covering could protect seeds from salinity while also providing fertilizer-generating microbes Providing seeds with a protective coating that also supplies essential nutrients to the germinating plant could make it possible to grow crops in otherwise unproductive soils, according to new research at MIT. A team of engineers has coated seeds with silk that has been treated ...
