The present invention discloses a bio-stimulant composition for promoting plant growth comprising natural product based extracts, such as, Adhatoda zeylanica extract containing Vasicine, Moringa oleifera extract, algal extract and combinations thereof, and excipients, and a process for preparing the same.

The present invention relates to improving the efficiency of man-made and/or natural organic-based animal manure fertilizers by administration of formulations containing poly(organic acids), [P(OA)]s, and/or their salts dispersed in a Non-aqueous Organic Solvent Delivery System (NOSDS). Utilizing a NOSDS allows for coating all components in a fertilizer formulation including but not limited to Urea, Manure, mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), solid micronutrients such as lime, zinc chloride, etc.) with a layer of [P(OA)]s and/or their salts that liberates, in a plant available form, the micronutrient metals and macronutrients, that are bound as insoluble salts and complexes in the soil. The carboxylic groups of a [P(OA)] that can exist within the [P(OA)] as carboxylic acids, carboxylic anhydrides and/or carboxylic imides, dispersed within the NOSDS, can be neutralized with one or more metals in the form of elemental metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal alkylates and metal carbonates and/or nitrogen containing compounds such as ammonia, ammonium hydroxide or organoamines to form a stable dispersion that can contain completely complexed micronutrients and provide the vehicle for the delivery of these nutrients to soils and/or as a coating to the surfaces fertilizer granules and seeds.

The present invention relates to improving the efficacy of man-made and/or natural organic-based animal manure fertilizers by administration of an organic solvent formula containing polyorganic acids and/or their salts. The formulation liberates nutrient(s) that are normally bound in the soil as insoluble salts and complexes. These delivery formulations also provide an environmentally sound and inherently safe solvating system that improves diffusion of polyorganic acids to the granule fertilizer. These delivery formulations enable safe storage, transport and subsequent application or blending with solid or liquid fertilizers. The combined formulation and fertilizer can be applied to soil to provide improved efficacy of fertilizer by liberating nutrients bound in the soil for uptake by plant life.

Described is a hydroponic system wherein a feed formulation comprising a plant's nutritionally effective amount of at least one amino acid, which upon uptake, becomes a substantial source of nitrogen for said plant, is applied to the foliage of the plant, and the roots of the plant are in contact with an incomplete water solution that comprises less than the plant's nutritional nitrogen requirements. The feed formulation, methods of feeding a plant or plant seed, and plants produced thereby are also described.

Described are compositions and methods relating to enzyme-containing, hot-melt-prepared granules produced from a starting material that contains an amount of water sufficient to denature the enzyme under hot-melt processing conditions. The resulting granules are particularly useful in consumer and industrial products, such as detergent, animal feed, food, personal care and agricultural compositions.
