The present disclosure relates to an additive for soil conditioning and an agricultural composition comprising additive and plant growth regulator. The additive comprises a mixture of esters of fatty acids and an emulsifying agent. The additive of the present disclosure can be used in the conditioning of the soil which results in improvement in plant growth. The agricultural composition of the present disclosure can be used for improving soil condition and promoting plant growth.

Processes capable of producing bulk materials suitable for use by the horticulture industry, resulting bulk materials produced thereby, and applications for these processes and materials. Preferred bulk materials have physical properties similar to peat moss and comprise individual materials, each at least partially having a twisted, curled, clumped and rolled structure. The individual materials may further comprise small granular particles dispersed throughout the twisted, curled, clumped and rolled structure. The individual materials may be rolled fibers such that the bulk material has physical properties similar to sphagnum peat moss so as to be particularly suitable as, for example, a soil conditioner, an absorbent material, a chemical carrier, or a filtering material. Alternatively, the individual materials may be rolled particles such that the bulk material has physical properties similar to milled peat moss so as to be particularly suitable as propagation media.

The invention herein provides a composite material suitable for the absorption of moisture in natural outside areas. More particularly, the composite material can be applied to both grassy and non-grassy natural areas to both absorb any excessive, apparent moisture therein and to also enrich the underlying earth of both grassy and non-grassy natural areas.

A method for producing soil amendment is disclosed. The method comprising: In the first step, different parts of a mesquite tree are collected. The collected parts comprises leaves, trunk, beans, mistletoe, roots and branches. In the second step, the collected parts are organized based on nutrient level. In the third step, the collected parts are dried. In the fourth step, the dried parts are milled to obtain a powder material of desired size. The powder material obtained is applied to a soil to improve the physical constitution of the soil.
