CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application 201210232891.4, filed on Jul. 5, 2012, entitled “Boron-containing Synergistic Urea and Preparation Method and Application Thereof”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY 
     The present invention relates to boron-containing synergistic urea and preparation method thereof, and also provides an application of the boron-containing synergistic urea in boron-deficient soils and boron-sensitive crops planting and growth. The present invention belongs to the agricultural technology field. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Along with development of rural economy and improvement of the agricultural science and technology, the input of chemical fertilizers in agricultural production increases constantly. Among these fertilizers, nitrogenous fertilizer, especially urea is applied increasingly year by year, and urea has gained the well deserved title “dominant fertilizer”, and is becoming one of the important factors affecting the food safety. 
     The increasing usage amount of urea also stimulates the pursuit of the production scale and yield of urea in the industry. China, for instance, has an annual output of urea of about 70 million tons, making up about 30% of the total output in the world, and the total production and consumption both firmly occupy the first place in the world. With the increasing of the production and application scale, another problem is that the nitrogen use efficiency is poor, or rather, the waste thereof is quite astonishing, it is manifested that the effective nitrogen in the applied urea fails to be absorbed and utilized effectively by the soils and the crops, and the usage effect can be achieved only by increasing the usage amount. Poor utilization rate of fertilizer not only results in a huge waste of energy and a heavy agricultural production burden, the abundant nitrogen loss in the applied urea can also easily cause nitrate nitrogen pollution to the underground water and create the greenhouse effect by the volatilization of nitrogen oxides. How to improve the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizer especially urea in the agricultural production has become one of the important issues in the fields of agriculture, science and technology, and environmental protection etc. Besides the traditional means such as tillage measures and technique of fertilization, through which the utilization rate of urea could be improved, the research, development and promotion of novel urea products featured by long-term slow-release and high utilization rate have become the important innovative means, and gained widely attention. 
     From published research literature and patented technology, the means and relevant products for solving long-term slow-release effect of urea are mainly classified into four categories: (1) Products formed by adding in the urea a urease inhibitor for inhibiting urea ammonification or a nitrification inhibitor for inhibiting nitrification or nitrosification of ammonia; (2) coated urea formed by applying a coating to the surface of urea particles to form an insoluble coating structure, and to control the release of nitrogen through permeability of the coating, the common means are to utilize polymer coated urea particles and sulfur coated urea to regulate the release rate and release amount of nitrogen by changing the coating thickness; (3) manufacture of pure slow-release urea products of large particles; (4) synergistic urea products formed by adding polyaspartic acid (salt) with a nature of plant nutrient accelerator into the urea, which can inhibit rapid decomposition and loss of urea composition while accelerating crop absorption. 
     For the above illustrated urea provided in the prior art, the common point lies in the pursuit of slowing down the water dissolution rate of urea in the soil and achieving the purpose of slow release of urea, or slowing down decomposition of urea by means of urease inhibitor or a nitrification inhibitor. 
     The prior patent CN 200710121488.3 of the inventor of the present application, entitled “a plant nutrient absorption accelerator and preparation method and application thereof”, discloses a polyaspartic acid chelated potassium (also referred to as “polypeptide chelated potassium”), as a plant nutrient absorption accelerator, it can enrich nutrients and intensify roots of the crop to enable the roots to have a stronger nutrient absorption capability and achieve the purpose of improving nitrogen use efficiency, such that crop can effectively absorb nutrients in a relatively low nutrient environment. The content of CN 200710121488.3 is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Based on this and in accordance with the balanced fertilization theory, the inventor proposed upon research that, trace elements can be further properly introduced to provide a synergistic urea containing certain trace element, which can effectively achieve and accelerate the absorption of plant to the nutrients and trace elements, and also help to improve urea use efficiency. 
     Different soil environment, different crops and different growth periods of the same crop have different demands on trace elements. Boron, one of the seven trace nutrients necessary for the growth and development of plants, mainly acts as a plant growth regulator to be applied to deal with boron deficiency symptom of plants, the influence of boron deficiency on plants is known. The main physiology function of boron in the process of growing a plant can be summarized as: to accelerate the operation of carbohydrates, accelerate a smooth and high quality pollination of plant, regulate the formation and operation of the organic acid in plant. The function of boron is also manifested in enhancing drought resistance and disease resistance and effect on accelerating ripening of crops. 
     There are two types of application methods of boron fertilizer: in one application method, the boron fertilizer is used as a base fertilizer with an application amount of 7.5-10 kg/ha, and in the other application method, the boron fertilizer is applied as a spray, in which the fertilizer is made into a 1-2% solution and applied once or twice prior to blossom or fruiting. The boron fertilizers currently used are mostly solid fertilizers, usually borax, which is an inorganic boron fertilizer and affected by the solubility. The main problems when applied directly are that, it is very difficult to uniformly disperse the boron fertilizer in the soil, and easy to cause excessive high local boron concentration in the soil, not only poisoning the crops, but also damaging soil quality due to boron residue. Consequently, the current research on boron fertilizer is mainly focused on improving the solubility of boron fertilizer in cold water and the boron content in the boron fertilizer, for example, a modified boron fertilizer by appropriate molecular modification has been provided. However, since the researched boron fertilizer is still mainly in the form of inorganic salts of boron, the aforementioned problems still exist. Therefore, for the applied boron fertilizers, how to ensure uniform boron dispersion, improve the use efficiency of boron element and achieve boron supplement and improve effective absorption capability of crops to boron element are also important issues in boron fertilizer application. 
     SUMMARY 
     The main problem solved by the present invention is to provide a boron-containing synergistic urea, such that boron element in a borate amine salt form can be uniformly distributed in the urea together with polyaspartic acid chelated potassium to obtain a novel synergistic urea. In the process of applying the synergistic urea, effective application amount of boron can be ensured and, meanwhile, excessive high local concentrations of boron fertilizer also can be avoided, such that effective absorption of nutrients by plants can be facilitated, and the urea use efficiency can be improved in various aspects. 
     The present invention also provides a preparation method of the boron-containing synergistic urea, such that polyaspartic acid chelated potassium and a borate amine salt can be uniformly composited with molten urea, making boron element stably present in the urea in an organic salt form and satisfying the relevant standards of urea and boron-containing urea. 
     In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention provides a boron-containing synergistic urea, the boron-containing synergistic urea is a product obtained by mixing and pelletizing a mixed aqueous solution of polyaspartic acid chelated potassium and a borate amine salt with molten urea, wherein the above three components: polyaspartic acid chelated potassium, the borate amine salt, and the molten urea are 0.04-0.12%, 0.08-0.24% and 99.64-99.88% by weight, respectively. 
     The boron-containing synergistic urea provided by embodiments of the present invention is actually a synergistic urea containing both macromolecule chelated potassium (referred to as “polypeptide chelated potassium” in the present invention) and a borate amine salt. Boron is introduced into the molten urea in the form of a stable organic amine salt, and has an excellent compatibility with the molten urea, not only staying stable in the urea, but also making boron element uniformly disperse in the urea. Boron element is supplied to the crop along with the application of urea, ensuring the effective application amount of boron and helping the crop to absorb boron and accelerate growth and development thereof, as well as preventing poisoning of crop and soil due to excessive high local concentration of boron fertilizer. In accordance with the balanced fertilization theory, applying boron element in a borate amine salt form together with the urea can benefit crops and accelerate the growth and development thereof and satisfy the effective demand for the growth and development of crops; applying boron element in an organic amine salt form together with the urea also can enhance nutrient absorption by the roots of the crop, in particular to nitrogen element absorption, and also has a positive effect on effectively utilizing nitrogen element in the urea. 
     The boron-containing urea in the present invention comprises polyaspartic acid chelated potassium as a plant nutrient absorption accelerator, it is an active component obtained by chelating polyaspartic acid and ecological organic acid with potassium salt through chemical reaction, upon application, it can chelate nutrients, delivery nutrients in the soil, and enrich nutrients around roots of the crop, also can enhance nutrient absorption by the roots of the crop to achieve the purpose of improving nitrogen use efficiency, and in particular, can have a significant effect on increasing nitrogen element absorption and utilization by the crop. In the invention patent CN 200710121488.3, entitled “a plant nutrient absorption accelerator and preparation method and application thereof” issued to the applicant of the present application, there are detailed descriptions on how to obtain polyaspartic acid chelated potassium (also referred to as “polypeptide chelated potassium”) and relevant characteristics and application effects thereof, which patent is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     The synergistic urea provided by the present invention effectively composites a borate amine salt and a polypeptide chelated potassium, and then add them into molten urea to form a novel synergistic urea with significantly improved fertilizer efficiency. It can also be referred to as boron-containing polypeptide chelated potassium urea in the present invention. 
     On the other hand, the applicant has proved in practice that, compared to ordinary urea, the boron-containing synergistic urea of the present invention not only achieves uniform dispersion of boron element in urea carrier, which facilitates boron supplement and improves effective boron element absorption capability of crops, but also can improve urea use efficiency (in other words, to improve fertilizer efficiency of urea), the application amount of urea is reduced while achieving growth, which is more favorable to the soil protection. During application of urea, except very small portion of components are absorbed by the roots in the form of amide nitrogen, most of urea components are absorbed by the plant in the manner that, firstly it is decomposed into amide carbonate and ammonia (H 2 N—CO—NH 2 +H 2 O→H 2 N—CO—OH+NH 3 ), then amide carbonate is further decomposed into carbon dioxide and ammonia, during this process, since ammonia is volatile or oxidized to nitrate nitrogen in the form of NO and NO 2  by nitrifying enzyme, thereby loss of nitrogen element can be caused, that also is one of the reasons why use efficiency of nitrogen element is poor during urea application. While the above effects obtained by applying the boron-containing synergistic urea of the present invention should benefit from the inhibition of borate amine salt dispersed in the urea to components such as urease and nitrifying enzyme to reduce loss of ammonia. The chelating property of organic carboxylic acid in polypeptide chelated potassium and the presence of borate amine salt also provide organic ammonium salt more apt to be absorbed by the plant, which is effective means to improve urea use efficiency. 
     According to the embodiments of the present invention, the borate amine salt added in the boron-containing synergistic urea can be a reaction product of a boric acid and an organic amine at 30-100° C., wherein the organic amine can be an alkylamine or an alkanolamine having a carbon chain length of no more than C4, for example, the combination of one or more small molecule organic amines such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, ethylenediamine, diethylene diamine and propylene diamine. 
     According to the embodiments of the present invention, the borate amine salt can be a reaction product of a boric acid and an organic amine at 30-100° C., and the molar ratio of the boric acid to the organic amine is 1:1-4:1. 
     According to the embodiments of the present invention, the polyaspartic acid chelated potassium is a reaction product of polysuccinimide, an organic acid and potassium hydroxide, the organic acid can be a dicarboxylic acid or a tricarboxylic acid chelatable with metal, and based on the weight of potassium salt, the weight ratio of the polyaspartic acid chelated potassium to the potassium salt of the organic acid in the reaction product is 1:1-5:1. 
     As described above, the polyaspartic acid chelated potassium in the present invention also can be referred to as polypeptide chelated potassium, and is already in use under a trade name of “polypeptide chelated potassium”, the Chinese invention patent of 200710121488.3 issued to the applicant of the present application has described in details and experiments have proved that it is an effective plant nutrient accelerator, the contents of the patent of 200710121488.3 are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
