The present disclosure relates to enhanced nitrification inhibitor dry fertilizer compositions, methods for making the same, and their use in agricultural applications.

The present disclosure provides stable inoculant compositions and methods for enhancing the survival and/or stability of microorganisms in an inoculant composition. In some embodiments, the microorganisms in an inoculant compositions are stabilized by the presence of one or more maltodextrins having a dextrose equivalent value of about 15 to about 20.

The invention relates to a bioactive composition for killing cells, comprising at least a first and a second half cell, the half cells being in electrically conductive contact with each other at least by their respective surfaces such that short-circuit elements are generated in the presence of water and oxygen. According to the invention the first half cell comprises at least one semiconductive compound of at least one transition metal element, which exhibits multiple oxidation states and allows a change of the oxidation states by means of catalytically active centers, so that oxygen is reduced and active oxygen species are produced at the first half cell, and wherein the second half cell comprises at least one electrically conductive silver semiconductor which absorbs electrons emitted by the cells or organic material. By means of particles coated with the composition according to the invention, for example, E. coli bacteria can be effectively and reliably killed with both a ruthenium oxide/silver chloride version (a-c) and a ruthenium oxide/silver sulfide version (d-f).
