Integrated plants and associated processes for producing ammonia and sulfuric acid have been developed comprising air separation and water electrolysis subsystems and which make surprisingly efficient use of the products from these subsystems (i.e. oxygen and nitrogen from the former and hydrogen and oxygen from the latter). The invention is particularly suitable for use as part of an integrated fertilizer production plant.

A lubricated agricultural mixture and method(s) of use thereof is described. Embodiments of the lubricated agricultural mixture can include a carbon source, a fertilizer, a binder, and a hydrogel. The lubricated agricultural mixture can be formed into tablets, granules, and wafers. The different forms of the lubricated agricultural mixture can be implemented in various situations. For instance, the table form can be distributed via machinery such that the carbon source acts as a lubricant for the machinery to minimize wear on the machinery.

Highly water-soluble humic acid products such as powders and compacted solids or granules are provided, which can be used directly as crop growth enhancers, or can be coated on or mixed with solid fertilizers. Preferred fertilizer products include humic acid-supplemented MAP, DAP, and urea, particularly where the humic acid fraction is distributed throughout the structure of the solid fertilizers.

The present disclosure is directed to materials and methods for delivering substances to plants using light energy.

A fertilizer granule having a coating on at least of portion of a surface of the granule. The coating is made of one or more complexing agents and a coating agent of one or more of a fatty acid, fatty acid ester, organic oil mineral oil or combinations thereof. The coating may optionally include a surfactant and micronutrients. The coated fertilizer granules demonstrates a noted improvement in the utilization of the nutrients of plants and crops.
