At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD, we recognize that effective agricultural solutions often require tailored approaches. N-(n-Butyl)thiophosphoric Triamide (NBPT), while a powerful single ingredient, can be formulated in various ways to best suit diverse agricultural needs and application methods. Understanding these formulations is key to maximizing its benefits.

NBPT is most commonly incorporated into fertilizers as a urease inhibitor to control nitrogen release. The primary challenge in formulation is ensuring its stability and uniform distribution within the fertilizer product. Common formulation types include:

  1. Coated Granular Urea: NBPT can be applied as a coating to granular urea. This coating ensures that NBPT is present on the surface of each granule, providing immediate protection against urease activity once the urea dissolves in the soil. These coatings are often designed for controlled release or to protect NBPT from environmental degradation.
  2. Liquid Formulations (e.g., UAN solutions): NBPT can be dissolved in stabilizing agents and solvents to create liquid formulations. These are particularly useful for blending with liquid fertilizers like Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) solutions. The liquid format allows for easier handling and uniform application in irrigation systems or direct spraying.
  3. Blended Products: In some cases, NBPT may be blended directly with granular fertilizers. The success of this method depends on the compatibility of NBPT with other fertilizer components and the ability to achieve a homogeneous mixture.

The choice of formulation often depends on the type of fertilizer being treated (granular, liquid), the application method, and the specific environmental conditions. For instance, liquid formulations are ideal for fertigation systems, while coated granules are preferred for broadcasting. The goal of all these formulations is to ensure that NBPT remains active and effectively inhibits urease activity at the critical stage of urea hydrolysis in the soil.
