Claims18
A composition comprising:
- (a) a nonaqueous, liquid carrier;
- (b) an inhibitor compound selected from the group consisting of urease inhibitors, nitrification inhibitors, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (c) a colorant composition, the colorant composition comprising:
- (i) an azo colorant;
- and
- (ii) about 1 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of water.

A method for making a composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a nonaqueous, liquid carrier;
- (b) providing an inhibitor compound selected from the group consisting of urease inhibitors, nitrification inhibitors, and mixtures thereof;
- (c) providing a colorant composition, the colorant composition comprising:
- (i) an azo colorant;
- and
- (ii) about 1 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of water;
- (d) mixing the nonaqueous, liquid carrier, the inhibitor compound, and the colorant composition to produce a composition.
4 more elements
A method for producing a fertilizer composition, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a granular substrate having a surface, the granular substrate comprising a nitrogen source;
- (b) providing a coating composition, the coating composition comprising:
- (i) a nonaqueous, liquid carrier;
- (ii) an inhibitor compound selected from the group consisting of urease inhibitors, nitrification inhibitors, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (iii) a colorant composition, the colorant composition comprising:
- (1) an azo colorant;
- and
- (2) about 1 wt. % to about 60 wt. % of water;
- and
- (c) applying the coating composition to at least a portion of the surface of the granular substrate;
- and
- (d) drying the granular substrate from step (c) to produce a coating on at least a portion of the surface of the granular substrate
