A biofertilizer is disclosed that include specific formulations of algae biomass and a mycorrhizal fungus. This biofertilizer may be a useful way of utilizing algae biomass created for carbon sequestration purposes for a productive agricultural purpose. The combination of algae biomass and mycorrhizal fungus may provide advantageous effects to a crop, as the algae may be a nutrient source for both the crop itself and also for the mycorrhizal fungus that allows the fungus to grow and form a mycorrhizal relationship with the root system of the crop. The biofertilizer may be pelletized with rice hull filler and have a specific range of moisture content, so as to be compatible to agricultural fertilizer delivery equipment. Methods of manufacturing the pelletize biofertilizer are also provided.

The invention relates to a biomass composition comprising insect particles or worm particles. The insect particles are for example derived from larvae such as fly larvae, in particular larvae of the species black soldier fly. The insect particles are for example provided by grinding insects. The biomass composition comprises for example ground grain and/or tuber parts of a root vegetable. The invention also related to a method for providing a biomass composition comprising insect particles or worm particles. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the biomass composition in the production of fertilizer, biofuel, animal feed. Furthermore, the invention relates to such fertilizer, biofuel, feed, comprising the biomass composition.

Provided is a soil microbial regulator for enhancing plant stress resistance, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 30-50 parts of coconut coir, 30-50 parts of Eucheuma, 10-30 parts of mushroom residue, 20-30 parts of Guayule and 0.4-1.6 parts of composite bacterial agent. The present invention uses discarded mushroom residue and coconut coir as raw materials, and Guayule and Eucheuma are added; under the action of composite bacterial agent, the raw materiels are fermented; the soil microbial regulator prepared by fermentation can adjust the soil structure, improve soil microbial structure, provide sustainable nutrition for crop growth, significantly promote crop growth, improve crop resistance to diseases and insect injury, effectively reduce crop incidence rate, enhance crop resistance, realize the purpose of increasing yield and income, and achieve high and stable crop yield.

A growth medium for fungus is obtained by: (a) treating a mixture of lignocellulosic biomass and water with at least one oxidizing agent and steam at a temperature in a range of from about 130 C to about 220 C for a period from about 5 seconds to about 10 hours; (b) periodically measuring a pH of the mixture for substantially an entire duration of the treating step; and (c) as necessary, based on the pH of the mixture measured in step (b), adjusting the pH of the mixture into a range of from about pH 4.5 to about pH 7.5 by adding abase to the mixture. A method for producing the growth medium for fungi and a method for cultivating fungi are also provided.

There is provided an apparatus for extraction of at least one object from a cavity. The apparatus includes a sleeve including an inflatable section configured to surround the at least one object during inflation; a handle configured to enable a user to hold the sleeve, the handle defining a holding edge of an opening at a first portion of the sleeve; and a handle-mount mounted to a peripheral area around the opening, the handle-mount being for attachment of a pump used for inflating the inflatable section. There is also provided a pressure limitation apparatus configured to operate with a birth assistance device when attached via a conduit.

A process for production of fish soluble by-product based organic fertilizer includes combining fish soluble by-product and one or more grain by-products to create a combination of fish soluble by-product and one or more grain by-products. The combination of fish soluble by-product and one or more grain by-products yields the fish soluble by-product based organic fertilizer product.
