An agricultural spray may be produced by admixing citric acid and glutamic acid with a metal salt and a pesticide or other agricultural chemical containing components capable of precipitating with the metal salt in the admixture. The citric acid and the glutamic acid chelate with the metal salt to provide a stability and compatibility-enhancing composition, thereby preventing the metal salt from forming an insoluble solid within the admixture. Such a composition may be produced by admixing citric acid and glutamic acid at a molar ratio of about 6.8:0.5 to about 1:0.29. The composition may include a metal sat, citric acid and glutamic acid in a molar ratio of about 1:6.8:0.5 to about 1:1:0.29 and a pesticide.

Embodiments provide inorganic mineral chelated compositions, inorganic and organic salts of minerals, cobalt compounds and compositions, and treatment compositions, and methods of making and using the same. Mineral chelated compositions in combination with mineral salts have been shown to improve plant health, plant emergence, crop yield, plant health consistency, consistent or time-released bio-availability of nutrients in and around a plant, seed, or soil, plant resistance to disease and drought, and microbial catalysis. The compositions described herein can be applied directly to seeds, soil, or plants, or they can be incorporated with existing agricultural treatments and processes, reducing cost and time for farmers to implement the methods described herein. Compositions described herein may also be combined with other commercial products to enhance the efficacy thereof.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising an agrochemical active substance and a copolymer which comprises an N-vinylcarboxamide and a diallyldialkylammonium salt incorporated into the polymer. The invention furthermore relates to a method of preparing this composition; to the use of this composition for dispersing agrochemical active substances; to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment; and furthermore to seed comprising the composition.

The present invention relates to a ground cover in the form of a mulch, comprising a microfibrillated polysaccharide. Also methods for its manufacture and use thereof are disclosed.

The present invention relates to agriculture and fertilization. In particular, compositions and methods relating to soil amendments, crop fertilization, plant fertilizers, organic waste management, and biocidal mixtures used to kill or inhibit fungi or fungal spores, molds, and mildews, and/or insect infestations applicable for treating crops are provided. In certain aspects, soil amendments, methods of making soil amendments, methods for improving crop yields, and methods for decreasing pathogens are provided. In certain aspects, compositions and methods relating to biocidal mixtures used inhibit, ameliorate, or treat a plant for insect infestation and/or fungal disease, such as scab, powdery mildew, downy mildew, rust, Roya Fungus, blight, brown rot, leaf spots, mites, flies, scales, psyllids are provided. In certain aspects compositions and methods relating to treating hazardous material, such as the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment are provided.

A method for enhancing or reducing photosynthetic activity, wherein non-toxic pigmented matter is applied to a photosynthetic organism. Depending on the composition of the pigmented matter, the method will have the effect of enhancing, reducing, or inhibiting photosynthetic activity.

A fertilizer composition comprising a base composition, a plurality of wool pellets comprising wool, and at least one animal product selected from the group consisting of blood meal, meat and bone meal, fish meal, and tankage. Related methods of forming the fertilizer composition comprise providing a plurality of wool pellets to a base composition, adding the at least one animal product to the base composition, and mixing the plurality of wool pellets, the at least one animal product, and the base composition to form a fertilizer composition comprising the plurality of wool pellets, the at least one animal product, and the base composition. Related methods of providing at least one nutrient to a plant are also described.

The invention relates to an agricultural water disintegrable granular composition. More particularly, the invention relates to a water disintegrable granular composition, where the granules include at least one water insoluble crop nutrient or or algae or pesticidal active ingredient, and one or more agrochemically acceptable excipient, whereby the granules have a bulk density of less than 1.5 gm/ml and hardness of at least 1 Newton. The invention further relates to a water disintegrable granular composition which includes at least one algae and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient wherein granules have particles in the size range of 0.1 micron-50 microns, granule size is in the range of 0.1 mm to 6 mm and attrition resistance of the granules are at least 50%.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a process of preparing the water disintegrable granular composition including one or more water insoluble crop nutrients or algae or the pesticidal active ingredients. The invention further relates to a method of fortification of the plants or the soil or the plant propagation material or locus thereof with the water disintegrable granular composition comprising water insoluble crop nutrients or algae or the pesticidal active ingredients. The invention further relates to a method of crop protection with the water disintegrable granular composition comprising at least one pesticidal active ingredient.

This fertilizer is a mixture of organic matter from animal and plant sources, nematode controllers, carbohydrates, minerals, and mycorrhizal inoculum. It contains guano, kelp meal, neem cake, dry molasses, clay, magnesium sulfate and mycorrhizae. In one embodiment, the mixture is made of the following amounts by weight: 55% high-nitrogen bat guano; 12.5% high-phosphorous bat guano; 12.5% kelp meal; 10% neem cake; and 2.5% each of dry molasses, montmorillonite clay, magnesium sulfate, and mycorrhizae of the Glomus genus.
