Fertilizer compositions containing protocatechuic acid are provided. Such fertilizer compositions may be used to fertilize plants or plant seeds. The use of such fertilizer compositions to fertilize plants or plant seeds can provide benefits to the plants, e.g., enhanced plant growth, less browning, greater pest resistance, and better flowering, as well as health benefits to consumers of those plants.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a wood chip-type organic composite fertilizer wherein the method comprises the steps of: {circle around (a)} preparing wood chips by chipping; {circle around (b)} preparing a liquid organic fertilizer; {circle around (c)} forming an organic mixed solution; {circle around (d)} obtaining colored wood chips by simultaneously immersing the wood chips of the step {circle around (a)} in the organic mixed solution of the step {circle around (c)} and applying hot air to the organic mixed solution to coat the woods chips with colors; {circle around (e)} drying the wood chips to a high temperature to remove moisture formed on an outer surface of the wood chips of the step {circle around (d)} and to make the organic mixed solution penetrate evenly into the wood chips at the same time; and {circle around (f)} packing the dried wood chips of the step {circle around (e)} by weight unit with the measurement thereof on a scale.

An improved solvent system for the formulation and application of N-alkyl thiophosphoric triamide urease inhibitors. These formulations provide safety and performance benefits relative to existing alternatives and enable storage, transport and subsequent coating or blending with urea based or organic based fertilizers. These formulations are comprised primarily of environmentally friendly aprotic and protic solvents (particularly dimethyl sulfoxide and alcohols/polyols) to stabilize the urease inhibitor.

A fertilizer application system for a liquid fertilizer concentrate includes a container containing a first fluid. A siphon is disposed on the container and includes two inlets and an outlet. A flow control valve is configured to selectively control an amount of first fluid flowing through the siphon based on ambient temperature of an environment outside the container. A siphon tube includes a siphon tube first portion in fluid communication with the first fluid, and a siphon tube second portion fluidly coupled to an inlet of the siphon. The first fluid includes a liquid fertilizer concentrate comprising a nitrogen containing source, a phosphorous containing source, a sulfur containing source, a potassium containing source, an iron containing source, and water.

Described herein, inter alia, is a concentrate including a high ionic strength liquid and a microfibrillated cellulose, and methods of making the same.
