Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new composition for use as a nutrient and soybean inoculant. The composition comprises an inoculant (e.g., Bradyrhizobium), one or more plant nutrients, and preferably a carrier for the inoculant and one or more plant nutrients. Additionally, the composition is preferably free of peat and advantageously the Bradyrhizobia are not harmed and remain active, even when stored with the nutrients. The composition can be applied to soil and/or to soybean seeds, thus assisting soybean seeds in fixing nitrogen.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods of using those compositions to treat plants so that those plants can utilize light wavelengths outside the PAR wavelength range for photosynthesis. The composition broadly includes a phosphor in a solvent and can also include nutrients, biostimulants, etc., added to it, depending on the desired end use. The compositions are preferably applied as foliar sprays, and they can increase yield as compared to untreated plants grown under the same conditions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new seed treatment composition for use as a flow aid or seed lubricant. The composition comprises ground corn components and preferably one or more nutrients. The composition can be applied to wet or dry seeds, minimizing or preventing sticking, bridging, and clumping of the seeds during planting or treatment processes. Advantageously, these compositions also improve plant growth while minimizing waste and missed seed pick-up by the planter.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new amino acid and nutrient composition for use as a stress mitigator in plants. The composition comprises at least cobalt, nickel, zinc, and phosphorus, and in some embodiments comprises additional nutrients and/or amino acids. The composition is preferably provided in liquid form and can be used as a foliar treatment. Advantageously, these compositions assist the plants in achieving higher biomass and chlorophyll levels and appropriate gene expression, similar to that of the plant when the stress conditions are not present.

Abstract: High solids suspension fertilizers containing macro and micronutrients are provided herein. The fertilizers comprise at least one nutrient suspended in a liquid medium, along with a thickener and a dispersant. The liquid compositions advantageously comprise a suspension of larger fertilizer particles compared to prior art compositions, providing for a high solids content. The fertilizers are compatible with fungicide and insecticide seed treatments in coating agronomically important substrates, such as crop seed or prilled and granulated fertilizer. Also provided are methods of producing liquid fertilizers.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a seed coating composition comprising one or more active ingredients, to a method and use for improving the bio-efficacy of an active ingredient in a seed coating, and to a coated seed. The seed coating composition of the invention further comprises a wax and/or polymeric carbohydrate and wherein said seed coating composition has an amount of polymeric binder excluding wax and polymeric carbohydrate of 10% or less by total weight of the wax and polymeric carbohydrate together.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an aqueous seed coating composition comprising one or more active ingredients, to a pre-blend and use thereof as a component of the seed coating composition, to a method for improving the bio-efficacy of an active ingredient in a seed coating, and to a coated seed. The seed coating composition and/or pre-blend of the invention further comprise a wax, and at least one pigment.
