The invention is directed to organic fertilizers having commercial levels of nitrogen reacted with organic substances. The scalable process comprises adding an organic processing center to a fertilizer granulation plant specifically for the treatment of organics with an acid that acidifies, heats and liquifies a mix resulting in the hydrolysis of most or all organic material and polymers. For ammonium sulfate-based fertilizer this mix is only reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid. For ammonium phosphate fertilizers, this mix is reacted with both concentrated sulfuric acid and a concentrated phosphoric acid. The acidified organic mixes are piped to an existing or new granulation plant where it is injected with anhydrous ammonia in a tee mixer/reactor that results in a partially neutralized melt. Subsequently a sterilized and liquefied organic melt is sprayed over recycled bed material for production of granules before drying. Fertilizers made as disclosed provide a “green”, dual nitrogen-release profile when applied to crops releasing a bolus of nitrogen over one to two weeks following application followed by a slow or enhanced efficiency release of nitrogen over weeks of the growing season.

A method of producing a fertilizer composition, the method comprising: (a) providing a composition comprising ammonia; and (b) contacting the composition provided in step (a) with: (i) a composition comprising carbon dioxide; and (ii) a source of sulfate ion; and (iii)cellulosic fibres.

The present disclosure relates to protein hydrolysate based biostimulant composition derived from methanotrophic bacteria, and methods for enhancing agricultural productivity. In particular, the compositions disclosed herein comprise a protein-derived component in an amount of about 30% or less with respect to weight of the composition, wherein said protein-derived component is obtained from a methanotrophic bacterium. The present biostimulant composition finds applications in methods for improving plant performance along with methods for reducing the need of external chemical fertilizer-based inputs for plant growth.

A plant growth enhancer including a source of carbon dioxide, a source of carbohydrate, and source of acid in an amount to provide increased retention of carbon dioxide in the soil.

The present invention is a plant growth promoter containing one or more seed shell components of plant selected from Palmae Elaeis, Leguminosae Faboideae, Juglandaceae, Rosaceae Prunus, and Oleeae.

A method of formulating novel humic material is disclosed comprising mixing one or more portions of Dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP) with one or more portions of N—(N-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) with one or more portions of Isobutylidene-diurea (IBDU) with one or more portions of Polyaspartic Acid with one or more portions of Chitosan and a portion of Mycorrhizae and Rhizobia to form a portion of biostimulant material; obtaining a portion of seaweed harvest and crushing and drying said portion of seaweed to form a portion of seaweed powder; Obtaining a portion of leonardite and crushing said portion of leonardite to form a portion of humic raw material; mixing one or more portion of animal manure with one or more portion of stover with one or more portion of organic waste to form a portion of compositing mix and composting said compositing mix to form a portion of composted product; obtaining a portion of plant waste and subjecting said portion of plant waste through an anaerobic combustion to form a portion of bio char; mixing said portion of bio char with said portion of composted product with said portion of humic product to form a portion of humic processed material; adding a portion of artificial taggant to said humic processed material to form tagged humic product; mixing said tagged humic product with said portion of biostimulant material to form a portion of biostimulant humic product; adding a taggant to said portion of biostimulant humic product to form a portion of tagged biostimulant humic product; mixing one or more portion of phosphorus with a portion of potassium and a portion of nitrogen and a portion of trace minerals to form portion of raw fertilizer; mixing said portion of raw fertilizer with said portion of tagged biostimulant humic product to form a portion of tagged fertilized biostimulant humic product.

The invention relates to a coated granular fertilizer, preferably wherein granules are sulfate-based or phosphate-based. When sulfate-based granules, as in ammonium sulfate, the coating substance is an inorganic salt of alkaline earth elements, preferably calcium, such that when applied to the surface of fertilizers, forms calcium sulfate, preferably a calcium sulfate-dihydrate, as a protective coating. For a reactive coating of a thiosulfate, free sulfuric acid present on the granule reacts to provide an elemental sulfur coating. For ammonium phosphate-based granules, coatings may comprise compounds of Ca.sup.++, Al.sup.+++ and/or Fe.sup.+++ salts thereby forming a calcium, an aluminum, an iron, or mixed cation phosphate protective coating. Thiosulfate is also effective with phosphate-based granules which are manufactured with sulfuric acid. Granules coated according to the disclosure have advantageous properties as the coating can be applied in a specified and sparing manner due to its tendency to adhere to surfaces during the reaction. Coated fertilizer granules of the disclosure are also advantageous in that, with regard to the applied amount of coating, they provide increased resistance to dusting in long term warehouse storage, to moisture uptake and to oxidative heating. Coating components also add nutrients to plants that can provide nutrients over a longer period of time such as a slow-release characteristic.

A compost according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied is a compost obtained by fermenting an organic waste, including: a first organic waste containing livestock or poultry dung; a second organic waste containing a fibrous organic waste different from the first organic waste; a first additive containing an iron compound; and a second additive containing at least one of boric acid and silicic acid, which are mixed and fermented. Such a compost can have a significantly reduced malodor and a good growth effect as compared with a conventional compost.

Composition and methods of applying potassium mixtures are disclosed. Applications include: fertilizer and fertilizer additives, freeze conditioning, dust control, coating oil, and fire prevention.

The present invention discloses a method for ammonium-enhanced flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by using red mud slurry. The method specifically includes: crushing red mud, sieving the crushed red mud, slurrying the red mud, conducting aeration treatment, adding an ammonium salt and/or ammonia, and conducting natural sedimentation to obtain pretreated red mud slurry and pretreated red mud liquor; adding an ammonium salt and/or ammonia to the slurry, adding water and conducting uniform mixing, conducting pre-FGD, conducting deep desulfurization on treated flue gas by using the pretreated red mud liquor, and directly discharging desulfurized flue gas; and charging the pretreated red mud slurry and the pretreated red mud liquor obtained after the treatment to a replacement tank below, adding lime milk to the replacement tank, conducting stirring and natural sedimentation, conducting soilization on subnatant thick red mud slurry, and refluxing the supernatant to a red mud aeration tank.
