Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0008] These and other aspects and advantages of the exemplary embodiments will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the general skill in the art. Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description that follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Moreover, the aspects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

[0009] One aspect of the present invention relates to a fertilizer comprising: Cannabidiol, a superabsorbent polymer and a Base fertilizer composition.

[0010] A Base fertilizer composition can include singly or a combination of the following: [0011] a. Macronutrients: nitrogen compounds, phosphorous compounds, potassium compounds, calcium compounds, magnesium compounds, and sulfur compounds. [0012] b. Micronutrient compounds of: boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc and nickel.

[0013] Base fertilizers are commonly described according to nitrogen, phosphate and potassium concentrations (so called N-P-K formulations). One preferred N-P-K fertilizer formulation is 3-2-2. Another preferred N-P-K fertilizer formulation is 10-10-10.

[0014] Another aspect comprises a formulation of CBD, THC, and other hemp oil derivatives.

[0015] Another aspect relates to the use of the formulations for spurring growth and strength of plant species.

[0016] Another aspect relates to the use of the formulations for controlling pest such as insects (such as caterpillars, hornworms, moths, cabbageworms, pickleworms, corn earworms, whitefly, aphids, mealybugs, scale, spider mites, thrips, leafminer, beetles, curculio, fleas, rootworms, weevils and loopers), grubs, cutworms, root maggots, wire worms, ants, earwigs, nematodes, slugs and snails.

[0017] Another aspect relates to the use of the formulations for controlling mildew, fungus, and viruses.

[0018] Another aspect relates to the use of concentrated formulations that can be easily diluted by the end user before use.

[0019] Another aspect comprises a formulation (w/w): 0.1-99.5% base fertilizer, 0.1-20% NaCMC, and 0.01-20% CBD oil.

[0020] Another aspect comprises a formulation (w/w): 50-99.0% base fertilizer, 0.5-10% NaCMC, and 0.10-10% CBD oil.

[0021] Another aspect comprises a formulation (w/w): 80-98.0% base fertilizer, 1.0-5.0% NaCMC, and 0.01 to 0.20% CBD oil.

[0022] Another aspect comprises a slow release fertilizer formulation wherein the active agents (including Nitrogen, phosphate and potassium sources as well as Cannabidiol and SAP) are slowly released over a period of weeks or months.

[0023] Sustained release fertilizer may comprise pellets with coating layer selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, epoxies, polyacrylates, polyvinyldene chloride, sulfur, polyvinyl chlorides (PVC) and combinations thereof. Other controlled release fertilizer coatings include the processes of sulfur coating urea particles (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,295,950, 5,300,135), 4,711,699, 4,969,947, and epoxy coating fertilizer compositions (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,264,088 and 5,698,002).

[0024] Another aspect comprises an immediate release fertilizer formulation wherein the active agents (including Nitrogen, phosphate and potassium sources as well as Cannabidiol and SAP) are released over a short period (days).

[0025] Fertilizer may be formulated as a solid such as granular or powder or in liquid form.

[0026] While there have been shown, described and pointed out, fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to the exemplary aspects thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of devices and methods illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Moreover, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements and/or method steps, which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results, are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that structures and/or elements and/or method steps shown and/or described in connection with any disclosed form or aspect of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or aspect as a general matter of design choice. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto.
