Abstract
A method of hydroponic growing of plants comprising hydroponically growing the plants in the presence of a controlled release hydroponic fertilizer composition. The hydroponic fertilizer composition comprises a polymerically coated controlled release fertilization nutrient formulation which further comprises micronutrients and optionally chelated iron.
Claims12
In a method of hydroponic growing of plants, the improvement comprising placing the plants in a hydroponic growing medium making one application of a controlled release hydroponic fertilizer composition and allowing the plants to grow to maturity without the need for any further application of nutrients;
- wherein the controlled release hydroponic fertilizer composition comprises a urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization formulation and micronutrients and wherein the polymeric coating is polyolefin or polyurethane and the urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization nutrient formulation is capable of releasing nutrients at a proper time and a proper amount during plant growth to maturity, wherein the coated formulation comprises a formulation with ratios of 1 N to about 2 K ratios, typically formulations such as 10-2-20 N-P-K ratio or 11-3-21 N-P-K ratio in 90-day and or 180-day release.;
- and wherein the formulation having prills with SGN of MN/NANO 125 to 175, preferably 150.
In a method of propagation of plants, the improvement comprising propagation phase growing from seed or cutting of a plant comprising placing the seed or cutting in a propagation medium making a single application of a controlled release hydroponic fertilizer to the propagation medium and, growing the seed or cutting in the presence of the coated formulation to a seedling without the need for any further application of nutrients to the propagation medium;
- wherein the controlled release fertilizer composition comprises a urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization formulation and micronutrients and wherein the polymeric coating is polyolefin or polyurethane and the urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization nutrient formulation is capable of releasing nutrients at a proper time and a proper amount during propagation, wherein the coated formulation comprises a formulation with ratios of 1 N to about 2 K ratios, typically formulations such as 10-2-20 N-P-K ratio or 11-3-21 N-P-K ratio in 90-day and or 180-day release, and wherein the formulation having prills with SGN of MN/NANO 125 to 175, preferably 150.
In a method of hydroponic growing of plants the method comprising:
- propagation phase growing from seed or cutting of a plant comprising placing the seed or cutting in a propagation medium making a single application of a controlled release hydroponic fertilizer to the propagation medium and growing the seed or cutting in the presence of the coated formulation to a seedling without the need for any further application of nutrients to the propagation medium;
- wherein the controlled release fertilizer composition comprises a urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization formulation and micronutrients and wherein the polymeric coating is polyolefin or polyurethane and the urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization nutrient formulation is capable of releasing nutrients at a proper time and a proper amount during propagation of a controlled release hydroponic fertilizer composition and allowing the seedlings to grow to maturity without the need for any further application of nutrients;
- wherein the controlled release hydroponic fertilizer composition comprises a urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization formulation and micronutrients and wherein the polymeric coating is polyolefin or polyurethane and the urea-free polymerically coated controlled release fertilization nutrient formulation is capable of releasing nutrients at a proper time and a proper amount during plant growth wherein the coated formulation comprises a formulation with ratios of 1 N to about 2 K ratios, typically formulations such as 10-2-20 N-P-K ratio or 11-3-21 N-P-K ratio in 90-day and or 180-day release.;
- and wherein the formulation having prills with SGN of MN/NANO 125 to 175, preferably 150.
