Patent number: 10570066Abstract: Embodiments provide inorganic mineral chelated compositions, inorganic and organic salts of minerals, cobalt compounds and compositions, and treatment compositions, and methods of making and using the same. Mineral chelated compositions in combination with mineral salts have been shown to improve plant health, plant emergence, crop yield, plant health consistency, consistent or time-released bio-availability of nutrients in and around a plant, seed, or soil, plant resistance to disease and drought, and microbial catalysis. The compositions described herein can be applied directly to seeds, soil, or plants, or they can be incorporated with existing agricultural treatments and processes, reducing cost and time for farmers to implement the methods described herein. Compositions described herein may also be combined with other commercial products to enhance the efficacy thereof.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: RALCO NUTRITION, INC.Inventors: Richard Dale Lamb, Mike David Johnson
