Foliar fertilization method and composition

TLDR
In this article, aqueous urea solutions suitable for foliar application containing mineral or organic acids, or both, in the presence or absence of a pH buffer having pH values between about 6 and 7.6.
Abstract
Aqueous urea solutions particularly suited for foliar fertilization are disclosed. They are characterized by low phytotoxicity, low corrosivity, and improved toxicity stability and comprise urea nitrogen and between about 0.005 and about 0.1 molar equivalents per mole of urea of a pH buffer having a buffering point between about 6 and about 7.6. Also provided are aqueous urea solutions suitable for foliar application containing mineral or organic acids, or both, in the presence or absence of a pH buffer having pH values between about 6 and 7.6. Either solution is foliarly applied at substantially non-toxic rates of at least about 10 pounds of nitrogen per acre.

Noncorrosive urea-sulfuric acid compositions

TL;DR: Improved, liquid, urea-sulfuric acid reaction product compositions, noncorrosive to carbon steel, contain about 5 to about 75 weight percent urea and about 85 weight percent sulfuric acid, 0 to 75 water, and a corrosion inhibiting amount of certain dialkylthioureas.

Noncorrosive urea-sulfuric acid reaction products

TL;DR: Improved liquid urea-sulfuric acid compositions as discussed by the authors contain about 5 to about 75 weight percent urea, about 15 to 20 weight percent sulfuric acid, 0 to 75 water and a corrosion inhibiting amount of a cupric ion-containing compound.

Methods for removing obstructions from conduits with urea-sulfuric acid compositions

TL;DR: In this article, the urea-sulfuric acid compositions which contain water and which have H2 O/(urea+H2 SO4) molar ratios below about 2.5 are particularly useful for removing obstructions by partial or complete hydrolysis.

Topical fertilization methods and compositions for use therein

TL;DR: Improved liquid fertilizer compositions for applying urea to the soil surface contain urea-sulfuric acid reaction products having high H 2 SO 4 /urea molar ratios and are free of toxic components such as sulfamic acid normally associated with such products as mentioned in this paper.

Method for preventing creasing in citrus fruit

TL;DR: In this article, a method for a significant reduction of creasing in citrus fruit was proposed, which consists in applying an aqueous solution of urea phosphate to the citrus fruit.
