The invention is directed to organic fertilizers having commercial levels of nitrogen reacted with organic substances. The scalable process comprises adding an organic processing center to a fertilizer granulation plant specifically for the treatment of organics with an acid that acidifies, heats and liquifies a mix resulting in the hydrolysis of most or all organic material and polymers. For ammonium sulfate-based fertilizer this mix is only reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid. For ammonium phosphate fertilizers, this mix is reacted with both concentrated sulfuric acid and a concentrated phosphoric acid. The acidified organic mixes are piped to an existing or new granulation plant where it is injected with anhydrous ammonia in a tee mixer/reactor that results in a partially neutralized melt. Subsequently a sterilized and liquefied organic melt is sprayed over recycled bed material for production of granules before drying. Fertilizers made as disclosed provide a “green”, dual nitrogen-release profile when applied to crops releasing a bolus of nitrogen over one to two weeks following application followed by a slow or enhanced efficiency release of nitrogen over weeks of the growing season.

Disclosed are methods of enhancing plant growth, comprising treating seed at least one month prior to planting with an effective amount of a plant signal molecule, wherein upon harvesting the plant exhibits at least one of increased plant yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to plants harvested from untreated seed, or compared to plants harvested from seed treated with the signal molecule just prior to or within a week or less of planting.

The present disclosure provides novel compositions and methods of forming those compositions by complexing a micronutrient with at least two organic acids, preferably in the presence of a base to form an aqueous formulation. Compositions comprising the complexed micronutrient are tank mix compatible and can be used to deliver a water-soluble source of the particular micronutrient to plants (e.g., corn plants), with foliar application being particularly preferred.
