Claims59
An amended granular fertilizer product comprising:
- fertilizer;
- and
- PAM;
- wherein said amended fertilizer is applied to soil.
An amended granular fertilization product comprising:
- fertilizer;
- and
- PAM;
- wherein said amended granular fertilizer is applied to soil, and wherein said PAM serves to improve utilization of said fertilizer by intended plants in said soil.
An amended granular fertilizer comprising:
- a fertilizer and a soil stabilizer;
- said soil stabilizer selected from the group consisting of:
- start xanthate, acid hydrolyzed cellulose microfibrils, chitin, gypsum, PAM, hydrocolloidal polysaccharide, acrylic copolymers, sodium acrylate, polyacrylamide, polyethylene-imines, polyamides-amines, polyamines, polyethylene-oxide, and sulfonated compounds, soil conditioners or combination thereof.
An amended granular fertilizer comprising:
- a fertilizer and a soil stabilizer;
- said soil stabilizer selected from the group consisting of:
- a material that was previously treated with an ingredient that has soil stabilizing properties, or a material that was derived from potable water treatment, dewatering of sewage sludges, washing and peeling of fruits and vegetables, clarification of sugar juice and liquor, adhesives and paper in contact with food, animal feed thickeners and suspending agents, cosmetics, paper manufacturing, various mining and drilling applications or a combination thereof.
A method of reducing amounts of fertilizer required for successful plant growth comprising;
- applying to soil by conventional application equipment an amended granular fertilizer;
- said amended granular fertilizer comprising fertilizer and PAM;
- adding water to said amended granular fertilizer;
- releasing said fertilizer and said PAM into said soil.
A method of improving soil penetration comprising;
- applying to said soil by conventional application equipment an amended granular fertilizer;
- said amended granular fertilizer comprising fertilizer and PAM;
- adding water to said amended granular fertilizer;
- releasing said fertilizer and said PAM into said soil.
A method of reducing soil erosion comprising;
- applying to said soil by conventional application equipment an amended granular fertilizer;
- said amended granular fertilizer comprising fertilizer and PAM;
- adding water to said amended granular fertilizer;
- releasing said fertilizer and said PAM into said soil.
A method of reducing fertilizer runoff and leaching comprising;
- applying to said soil by conventional application equipment an amended granular fertilizer;
- said amended granular fertilizer comprising fertilizer and PAM;
- adding water to said amended granular fertilizer;
- releasing said fertilizer and said PAM into said soil.
A method of conditioning the soil comprising;
- applying to said soil by conventional application equipment an amended granular fertilizer;
- said amended granular fertilizer comprising fertilizer and PAM;
- adding water to said amended granular fertilizer;
- releasing said fertilizer and said PAM into said soil.
A method of treating soil with an amended granular fertilizer comprising;
- applying to said soil by conventional application equipment an amended granular fertilizer;
- said amended granular fertilizer comprising fertilizer and PAM;
- adding water to said amended granular fertilizer;
- releasing said fertilizer and said PAM into said soil.
A method of applying an amended granular fertilizer to soil comprising:
- adding granular fertilizer to a soil stabilizer;
- applying said granular fertilizer to said soil;
- applying water to said granular fertilizer;
- releasing said soil stabilizer out of said granular fertilizer into said soil.
A method of applying cross-linked polyacrylamide to soil comprising:
- adding cross-linked polyacrylamide to a granular fertilizer;
- applying said granular fertilizer to soil;
- applying water to said granular fertilizer;
- releasing said cross-linked polyacrylamide out of said granular fertilizer into said soil.
A granular fertilizer used to apply cross-linked polyacrylamide to soil comprising a granular fertilizer and cross-linked polyacrylamide.
