A calcium carbonate agricultural product includes calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate agricultural product may be used to replace any suitable agricultural plastic currently in use. A method of growing plants includes providing a calcium carbonate agricultural product including calcium carbonate to protect the plants. A method for controlling a pH of soil includes: providing a calcium carbonate agricultural product including calcium carbonate to the soil; and releasing the calcium carbonate of the calcium carbonate agricultural product to the soil.

Methods for producing a solid ammonium bicarbonate product that includes preparing an organic feedstock that contains at least one nitrogen compound by causing organic animal manure and/or organic food waste to undergo anaerobic digestion, removing solids from the organic feedstock to produce an organic liquid effluent that contains at least one of ammonium and ammonia, performing a distillation process on the organic liquid effluent to strip and concentrate a vapor mixture therefrom that contains ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water and cool the vapor mixture to produce a condensed solution containing ammonium bicarbonate and/or ammonium carbonate, contacting the condensed solution with carbon dioxide to cause an ammonium bicarbonate precipitate to form from the condensed solution, and performing an evaporation process on the ammonium bicarbonate precipitate to remove water therefrom and produce the dry, solid ammonium bicarbonate product.

A fertilizer granule containing a core containing, phosphoric acid and an urea adduct containing urea and calcium sulfate, and a coat containing an urease inhibitor and a base, the coat forming a coating on an outer surface of the core. Methods of making and using the fertilizer granule are also disclosed.

A urea calcium sulfate (UCS) fertilizer granule and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. The granule can include a urea-calcium sulfate (UCS) adduct. The method of making can include producing a partially dried material comprising UCS adduct and forming the UCS fertilizer granules by either one or both of feeding the partially dried material into a separate vessel for granulation or granulating after storage of the partially dried material.
