The present invention relates to improving the efficiency of man-made and/or natural organic-based animal manure fertilizers by administration of formulations containing poly(organic acids), [P(OA)]s, and/or their salts dispersed in a Non-aqueous Organic Solvent Delivery System (NOSDS). Utilizing a NOSDS allows for coating all components in a fertilizer formulation including but not limited to Urea, Manure, mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), solid micronutrients such as lime, zinc chloride, etc.) with a layer of [P(OA)]s and/or their salts that liberates, in a plant available form, the micronutrient metals and macronutrients, that are bound as insoluble salts and complexes in the soil. The carboxylic groups of a [P(OA)] that can exist within the [P(OA)] as carboxylic acids, carboxylic anhydrides and/or carboxylic imides, dispersed within the NOSDS, can be neutralized with one or more metals in the form of elemental metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal alkylates and metal carbonates and/or nitrogen containing compounds such as ammonia, ammonium hydroxide or organoamines to form a stable dispersion that can contain completely complexed micronutrients and provide the vehicle for the delivery of these nutrients to soils and/or as a coating to the surfaces fertilizer granules and seeds.
A composition comprising a) one or more Poly (organic acids), [P(OA)]s, and/or their salts, b) a Non-aqueous Organo Solvent Delivery System (NOSDS), c) one or more nitrification inhibitors and/or one or more urease inhibitors, and d) one or more members selected from the group consisting of i) one or more fertilizers selected from the group consisting of (1) fertilizer solids and (2) liquid fertilizers and ii) seeds, wherein the NOSDS is the delivery formulation for delivering the one or more [P(OA)]s and/or their salts to said fertilizers and seeds, wherein the NOSDS comprises one or more members selected from the group consisting of i) one or more protic solvents and ii) one or more aprotic solvents, wherein the one or more protic solvents is selected from the group consisting of
