Abstract: A fertilizer is provided to promote plant growth that provides needed nutrients to a crop at planting that has a depressed freezing temperature relative to conventional liquid fertilizers. The fertilizer has a first fertilizer product including a bio-available nitrogen source, a bio-available phosphorus source, and a bio-available potassium source that is blended with a second fertilizer product including an amount of ammonium acetate. The first and second fertilizer products being present in synergistically effective amounts, such that the coordinated amounts of the first and second fertilizer products give crop yields greater than a mere additive effect obtainable through the use of the respective first and second fertilizer products alone in the same amounts. The synergistically effective amounts of the first and second fertilizer products are directed to particular crops, and depend upon the crop in question, soil conditions, ambient weather, and other factors.

Abstract: A particle is provided for delivery of humics, and biochar that is water-dispersible into constituent granules. The resulting particles are amenable to broadcast application, for example via rotary or drop spreader. As a result, a dust-free particle is formed that simultaneously addresses the prior art problems of the friable nature of humics and the sooty dusting property of biochar to facilitate ease of handling, broadcast field spreading, and gain the synergistic effects of dosing soil with both humics and biochar. The particle provides improved storage capabilities for materials improving the quality of the delivered material and decreasing negative storage consequences such as odor emanation or degradation. The resulting particles upon dispersion have a pH of between 3.3 and 8.1.
