  • Patent number: 11178863
    Abstract: The inventive subject matter provides a method for the incorporation of colored photoluminescent materials to be sprayed on to plants and soils. The incorporation of colored photoluminescent materials assists the spray operator through the use of black lights allowing for more precise low right or nighttime spray and seeding operations. More specifically, this invention relates to a colored photoluminescent adjuvant to be applied to targeted crops, plants and seeds to assist in the low light or nighttime application of bioactive agents, such as chemicals and pesticides. The colored photoluminescent adjuvant can be applied as a solution or a foam.

  • Patent number: 9309163
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method to increase phosphorus uptake in plants. This can be accomplished by mining phosphorus both in the free and bound state from the soil solution surrounding the roots of a plant. The process of mining involves the release of phosphorus from the bound state and the solubilization of unbound phosphorus to facilitate uptake by the roots of a plant. The mining of phosphorus can be accomplished by providing a phosphorus solubilizing compound having: i) at least one natural root acid; ii) at least one vitamin and iii) at least one crystalline carbohydrate, to a portion of a plant. The phosphorus solubilizing compound can be applied to plants to extract available phosphorus from the soil. This product can be either a soluble liquid or a solid.

  • Patent number: 9289524
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for reducing the total number of pathogens of one or more pathogen living in turf. This invention provides a number of devices to safely deliver the UV light to plants. In one embodiment, the device is made of a plurality of UV emitting devices imbedded in a face of a stationary bed knife blade. The plurality of UV emitting devices forming an arc of substantially continuous UV coverage. This modified bed-knife can be incorporated into a lawn mower to provide UV radiation, while at the same time cutting the turf.
