The present disclosure specifically relates to a preparation method for a degradable liquid-state mulching film by using livestock manure as a raw material, including pulverizing and sieving the dried livestock manure, followed by mixing with water to form a slurry; mixing the slurry with a stabilizer, an inorganic material and water to form a homogeneous suspension, followed by mixing with a surfactant, a grafted monomer mixture, a plasticizer and water to form a pre-emulsified mixed liquid; and finally raising a temperature of the pre-emulsified mixed liquid and adding an initiator under stirring to react to obtain a liquid-state mulching film. The mulching film obtained in the present disclosure not only has the functions of temperature raising, soil moisture conservation and grass controlling, but also has a strong adhesion ability to cause top soil particles to form an ideal agglomerate structure.

One embodiment provides a modular green roof tray, house plant growth media and horticulture growth media, and a tree protection mat for weed and moisture control made from recycled disposable diapers. The growth medium and tree protection mat contain superabsorbent materials from diaper that can absorb waters and greatly reduce irrigation so to provide a drought resistant feature. One embodiment also provides a manufacturing process to perform 100% recycling of disposed diapers.

The present disclosure provides water-soluble film packages composed of a water-soluble film, where the packages include: one or more compartment(s) including dehydrated microbes. The disclosure further provides methods of production of the water-soluble film packages, and methods of application thereof. The water-soluble packages of the disclosure enable convenient and accurate application of microbial dry powders to plants, promote uniform dispersion of powdered microbes, enhance microbial shelf life, and enhance the survival of microbes on seed, while being environmentally sustainable.

A macro-nutrient or mineral fertilizer product including a plurality of fertilizer particles, each including a fertilizer carrier, such as an N/P/K fertilizer, that incorporates a carbon-based additive to enhance particle quality. The carbon-based additive can have a functionalized or activated surface, such as a carbon-black acid with carboxyl groups at its surface. The functionalized surface can react with nutrients in a soil environment in which its dispersed, or both, to enhance the ability for the nutrients to be taken up by a plant. In one example, the carbon-based additive is a dry additive, such as powdered or particulates of carbon-black acid that is incorporated into the fertilizer carrier composition.
