  • Patent number: 12077480
    Abstract: High solids suspension fertilizers containing macro and micronutrients are provided herein. The fertilizers comprise at least one nutrient suspended in a liquid medium, along with a thickener and a dispersant. The liquid compositions advantageously comprise a suspension of larger fertilizer particles compared to prior art compositions, providing for a high solids content. The fertilizers are compatible with fungicide and insecticide seed treatments in coating agronomically important substrates, such as crop seed or prilled and granulated fertilizer. Also provided are methods of producing liquid fertilizers.

  • Patent number: 12071385
    Abstract: The present disclosure is concerned with fertilizer compositions that provide controlled, delayed, and/or prolonged release of micronutrients in soil. In one embodiment, the inventive composition comprises a dry, powdered blend of a first target micronutrient source in chelated form and a second source of the same target micronutrient but provided in non-chelated form. In another embodiment, the inventive composition provides at least two sources of boron, with one source being a water-soluble form and the other source being a water-insoluble form. Regardless of the embodiment, the methods of using the fertilizer composition results in increased uptake of the particular micronutrient, nitrogen, and/or potassium compared to the prior art.
