  • Soluble calcium fertilizer formulation
    Patent number: 8444742
    Abstract: A concentrated aqueous fertilizer which is readily water-soluble and a method of applying the solubilized dilute fertilizer to crops to enhance crop production are described. The dry fertilizer contains a contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compounds, as well as a mixture of plant growth stimulators including at least one of each of growth promoters, vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates/polysaccharides, and adjuvants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013
    Assignee: Miller Chemical & Fertilizer Corporation
    Inventors: Andrew G Smith, Charles H Svec, Michael D Fiery
  • Compositions and methods for anti-icing/de-icing
    Patent number: 8221644
    Abstract: Methods are provided which minimize loss of an anti-icing/de-icing composition from a surface. This is accomplished by adhering the anti-icing/de-icing composition to a surface using a film-forming polymeric composition. Methods are also provided for preventing snow accumulation and/or ice formation on a surface, delaying ice and/or snow formation on a surface, extending the life of an anti-icing/de-icing composition on a surface, surface anti-icing, and surface de-icing. These methods include the application of a film-forming polymeric composition and the anti-icing/de-icing composition to the surface. Desirably, the anti-icing/de-icing composition is a reagent which reduces the freezing point of water.
