Abstract: Fertilizer granules containing elemental sulfur and a hydrogel which expands or swells in the soil to more readily disperse the elemental sulfur surface throughout the soil, which increases the elemental sulfur surface area available for oxidation, and ultimately uptake of sulfur by the plant. The elemental sulfur and hydrogel can be added to a fertilizer composition as either an exterior coating or co-granulated with the base fertilizer composition.

Abstract: Improved urease inhibitors comprise one or more polymers containing alkenylphenyl sulfonate repeat units, which may be applied to or mixed with a variety of urea-containing fertilizers in order to substantially prevent urea decomposition when applied to soil. The inhibitors may be in the form of homopolymers such as polystyrene sulfonate, or as copolymers containing alkenylphenyl sulfonate and other, different repeat units. The inhibitor polymers may be in free acid, partial salt, or complete salt forms, and are water soluble.

Abstract: A process and apparatus is disclosed for utilizing African American hair removed from a person's scalp as a fertilizing agent with superior results in enhancing the growth of plants and, specifically, for speeding the photosynthesis process. Unprocessed hair removed from the scalp of African American people appears dead and dry but, in fact, includes moisture near the base, fiber, and melanin capable of holding the water for slow release later. Collected hair may be deposited into a specialized cleaning assembly for cleansing, infusion with fertilizer, and agitated for needle felting into a mat, balls, or powder for application to the roots of a plant for slow release of water and fertilizer held in the hair so that the plant receives melanin protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a controlled-release type fertilizer with remarkably decreased floating property, comprising a granular fertilizer core; a coating layer (shell) formed on the surface of the granular fertilizer core, and comprising olefin-based resin; and additives attached on the coating layer, and comprising polyoxyethylene alkyl(-aryl)ether.

Abstract: Disclosed is a functionalized particle having at its core a porous particle that acts as a structured support element. This porous particle is surrounded by a protective sealant layer encasing the porous particle. The particle includes a plurality of pores holding a first beneficial agricultural component. The functionalized particle can also include a plurality of functionalized molecules embedded in the sealant layer. The functionalized molecules comprise a base material, comprising an active agricultural component or an inactive material, and an active second beneficial agricultural component. The functionalized molecules can all contain the same base material and the same active second beneficial agricultural component or a mixture of different base materials and a mixture of second beneficial agricultural components. The first and second beneficial agricultural components can either be single components or a mixture of components and may be the same or different from each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a controlled-release type fertilizer with outstandingly decreased floating property, comprising a granular fertilize core; a coating layer (shell) formed on the surface of the granular fertilizer core, and comprising olefin-based resin; and additives attached on the coating layer, and comprising ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-ethylene oxide(EO-PO-EO) or propylene oxide-ethylene oxide-propylene oxide(PO-EO-PO) tri-block copolymer.

Abstract: A granular cohered MOP fertilizer having one or more micronutrients, and one or more binding ingredients. The fertilizer is prepared by compacting MOP feed material with a source of zinc and one or more optional binders to form a cohered MOP composition. The cohered MOP composition is then further processed, such as by crushing and sizing, to form a cohered granular MOP product containing a source of zinc. The process yields a fertilizer product containing micronutrients with superior elemental and granule size distribution without compromising handling or storage qualities.

Abstract: An improved solvent system for the formulation and application of N-alkyl thiophosphoric triamide urease inhibitors. These formulations provide safety and performance benefits relative to existing alternatives and enable storage, transport and subsequent coating or blending with urea based or organic based fertilizers. These formulations are comprised primarily of environmentally friendly aprotic and protic solvents (particularly dimethyl sulfoxide and alcohols/polyols) to stabilize the urease inhibitor.
