Abstract
Provided are various embodiments of a fertilizer composition. The fertilizer compositions include one or more compounds having a high nitrogen content, which may be measured by a carbon to nitrogen atom ratio. Also provided are methods for increasing nitrogen content in soil, promoting crop production and fertilizing.
Claims26
A fertilizer composition comprising:
- a lysine product having at least 50% lysine, the lysine product being selected from the group consisting of a water soluble salt of L-lysine, L-lysine (HCI), L-lysine, liquid L-lysine, L-lysine sulfate, and mixtures of any thereof;
- and
- a soluble plant protein selected from the group consisting of soy meal, soy protein isolate, canola protein isolate, soy protein concentrate and mixtures of any thereof;
- the lysine product and the plant protein being formulated as a plant fertilizer.

A fertilizer composition comprising:
- a an isolated lysine product selected from the group consisting of a water soluble salt of L-lysine, L-lysine (HCI), L-lysine, liquid L-lysine, L-lysine sulfate, and mixtures of any thereof, the lysine product having a nitrogen content of between 8% and 20% by weight;
- and
- a component selected from the group consisting of a fermentation biomass, a product of waste water treatment and combinations of any thereof;
- wherein upon application of one pound of the fertilizer composition to one thousand square feet of turfgrass, a total microbial population of soil associated with the turfgrass is increased as compared to the turfgrass without the fertilizer composition applied thereto.
