Patent number: 7892312Abstract: A nitrification inhibitor and a soil improver and a fertilizer containing the same are offered which can be utilized in a wide area from a tropical to a temperate zone, and can be easily obtained from natural origin materials. It is a nitrification inhibitor to inhibit soil nitrification, containing as a main component either one of linoleic acid, ?-linolenic acid, ?-linolenic acid, and methyl linoleate, or their mixture of two or more. By incorporating this nitrification inhibitor into a soil improver or a fertilizer, nitrification of soil can be effectively inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Japan International Research Center for Agricultural SciencesInventors: Guntur V. Subbarao, Kazuhiko Nakahara, Takayuki Ishikawa, Osamu Ito, Hiroshi Ono, Mayumi Kameyama, Mitsuru Yoshida, Marco Rondon, Idupulapati Madhusudana Rao, Carlos Lascano, Manabu Ishitani

Publication number: 20100326152Abstract: An encapsulated particle comprises a core particle and a polyurethane layer disposed about the core particle. The core particle can be various particles, such as fertilizer, biocides, flame retardants, seeds, etc. The polyurethane layer comprises the reaction product of an isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive component. The isocyanate-reactive component comprises a graft polyol having a continuous phase and polymeric particles. A method of forming the encapsulated particle comprises the steps of providing the core particle, applying the isocyanate and isocyanate-reactive components to the core particle, and reacting the isocyanate and isocyanate-reactive components to form the polyurethane layer. The encapsulated particle has excellent physical properties, such as increased water repellency, resiliency and shelf life.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Inventor: Donald C.
