A method of removing phosphates from water in a continuous process, the method comprising the steps of: (a) passing the water through a first zone in which the pH is adjusted; and (b) passing the water through a second zone in which the water is contacted with magnesium ions; wherein the water is contacted with ammonia in the first zone and/or in the second zone.

A system and method for providing fertilizer for crop production in an aqueous solution comprising nano-sized fertilizer particles, which are free of any chemical side chain and free any micelle to protect the nano-sized particle from re-agglomeration, suspended therein for improved uptake by the population of the crop.

Seaweed and/or seaweed extract coated fertilizer core, methods for their use, and production thereof, are disclosed. The fertilizer core, coated by the seaweed and/or seaweed coating, can contain 50 wt. % or more, based on the total weight of the core, of a urea-based fertilizer, or an inorganic fertilizer containing one or more of nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium, or a combination thereof. The coating can include a seaweed and/or seaweed extract, and optionally contain or exclude gypsum, water insoluble polymer(s) other than native water insoluble polymers present in the seaweed or extract thereof, water, solubilizing agent(s), anticaking agent(s), and/or binding agent(s).

The present invention relates to a method for fertilizing corn in a semi-humid region for one time, and belongs to the field of agricultural fertilization. The method adopts a corn seeding and fertilizing combined machine to sow and fertilize for one time in a semi-humid region. The method realizes nutrient supply throughout the growth of corn without performing top dressing in a later stage. The method improves fertilizer utilization, saves labor cost and improves production and income. The present invention effectively improves ventilation and light transmission conditions in the corn field, eliminates the effect of a stubble of a preceding crop on the emergence of corn, improves uniformity, and reduces nutrient loss.
