Disclosed are a microgranular water-soluble fertilizer co-produced from potassium nitrate by tower melt and a method of preparing the same, which relate to the technical field of production of water-soluble fertilizers. The microgranular water-soluble fertilizer co-produced from potassium nitrate by tower melt is prepared from potassium nitrate concentrate, urea, industrial monoammonium phosphate, water-soluble ammonium polyphosphate, potassium sulfate, EDTA-Fe, EDTA-Zn, EDTA-Mn, boric acid and ammonium heptamolybdate. The microgranular water-soluble fertilizer product co-produced from potassium nitrate by tower melt has balanced and stable nutrients. The product is microgranular, has a smooth appearance, is less susceptible to agglomeration, is easy to be absorbed and utilized by crops, and contains a full range of nutrients. In addition, the product is produced by a process employing fully automatic dispensing equipment, which mainly integrates dispensing, mixing and packaging and is fully automated. The process is environmentally friendly, energy saving, and easy for manufacturing.

A single-step method for preparing a free-flowing, non-dusting micronutrient-coated particulate solid fertiliser material, the method comprising applying a single fluid onto particulate solid fertiliser material at ambient temperature without chemical reaction or chelation, said single fluid comprising a suspension of one or more micronutrient materials in an oil.

Disclosed herein are methods of increasing nitrogen fixation in a non-leguminous plant. The methods can comprise exposing the plant to a plurality of bacteria. Each member of the plurality comprises one or more genetic variations introduced into one or more genes or non-coding polynucleotides of the bacteria's nitrogen fixation or assimilation genetic regulatory network, such that the bacteria are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the presence of exogenous nitrogen. The bacteria are not intergeneric microorganisms. Additionally, the bacteria, in planta, produce 1% or more of the fixed nitrogen in the plant.
