Abstract: Apparatus identifies a set of M output memory addresses from a larger set of N input memory addresses containing at least one non-unique memory address. A comparator block performs comparisons of memory addresses from a set of N input memory addresses to generate a binary classification dataset that identifies a subset of addresses from the set of input addresses, where each address in the subset identified by the binary classification dataset is unique within that subset. Combination logic units receive a predetermined selection of bits of the binary classification dataset and sort its received predetermined selection of bits into an intermediary binary string in which the bits are ordered into a first group identifying addresses belonging to the identified subset, and a second group identifying addresses not belonging to the identified subset.

Abstract: A liquid foliar feed concentrate comprising, water containing therein, i) at least one foliar feed plant nutrient which is present in an amount of at least 5% weight of active nutrient based on total weight of the composition, ii) 800 to 50,000 ppm of at least one water-soluble polymer, and iii) 800 to 250,000 ppm of at least one surfactant. The foliar feed plant nutrient is preferably selected from the group consisting of NPK nutrients, calcium containing nutrients, urea, ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, mono ammonium phosphate, di ammonium phosphate, micronutrients and molybdenum containing nutrients. The preparation of the liquid foliar feed concentrates is also claimed. The invention also relates to the preparation of sprayable foliar feed compositions. The liquid concentrate can be used to prepare sprayable foliar feed compositions. The invention also describes a method of foliar feeding plant(s) using the sprayable compositions.
