A one-off fertilization method suitable for winter wheat in areas with less rainfall in spring includes the following steps: (1) carrying out, on a flat wheat block which is suitable for mechanized operations and after the harvest of preceding crops, a deep ploughing or a subsoiling in combination with a rotary tillage and a one-off fertilization for land preparation, without involving any top dressing in a later stage; and (2) carrying out a seeding operation by a wheat seeder, wherein for nitrogen fertilizer, according to the nitrogen release period of a controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer, one of the following application modes is determined: applying a polyurethane-coated controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer alone or a water-based resin-coated controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer special for winter wheat alone; or applying a water-based resin-coated controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer special for winter wheat in combination with 20% to 30% of a polyurethane-coated controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer.

Novel granular fertilizers and methods of making those fertilizers are provided. The method utilized involves recycling streams, including one that provides water having dissolved solids therein, with that water being used during the mixing and granulation process. This method results in a low-moisture, hard, substantially spherical granule, which can include any number of macronutrients and/or micronutrients. Advantageously, the granular fertilizer can be applied to the soil around plants to supply those plants with the necessary nutrients.

A fertilizer composition for application to leaves of a plant includes oxidized glutathione and one or more fertilizer components. A method for cultivating a plant includes applying oxidized glutathione and one or more fertilizer components to leaves of the plant. A fertilizer kit for application to leaves of a plant includes oxidized glutathione and a composition comprising one or more fertilizer components, wherein the glutathione and the composition in the fertilizer kit are separate from each other.

The present invention provides a method of promoting spore germination and/or vegetative growth of a plant growth-promoting Bacillus or Paenibacillus isolate, the method comprising simultaneously or sequentially applying inorganic phosphate and the plant growth-promoting Bacillus or Paenibacillus isolate to a plant, a plant part, a plant propagule, a seed of a plant and/or a locus
