A method for recovery of phosphorous, in particular of phosphorous from a waste stream, and a product obtained thereby. The product is in a form wherein phosphorous can be released to, e.g., the soil and plants at a desired amount per interval of time.

A fertilizer and method of making a fertilizer that include bioactivated nutrients derived from immobile/less mobile elements. The immobile/less elements are made available to plants by the action of element mobilizing microorganisms, which are isolated, cultured, and combined with organic material and sources of the immobile element.

An agricultural adjuvant includes microfibrillated cellulose, a dispersant or wetting agent, in a liquid carrier that has been subjected to shear conditions. The resultant adjuvant displays useful rheological structure and the adjuvant is added to agricultural formulations to stabilize and impart useful rheology to the formulations.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for water clarification and greening that can simply and efficiently adsorb and remove nitrogen and/or phosphorus in a smaller horizontal area than in conventional methods, and that exhibits improved water clarification performance per unit area. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for water clarification and greening that can stably adsorb and remove nitrogen and/or phosphorus not only in summer but also in winter.

The present invention relates to a method for water clarification and greening, which simultaneously achieves water clarification and greening by planting a plant in a channel; wherein water flowing into the channel contains ammonia nitrogen and/or phosphorus; the channel comprises a planting portion where the plant is planted in a filtration bed filled with a granular material containing incineration ash; and the granular material containing incineration ash adsorbs the ammonia nitrogen and/or phosphorus in the water flowing into the channel, and the plant grows by absorbing the ammonia nitrogen and/or phosphorus adsorbed onto the granular material containing incineration ash, so as to achieve water clarification and greening.
