Abstract
An organic fertilization method is provided using a betaine based organic fertilizer product. The betaine based organic fertilizer product is created by optionally heating, optionally filtering, and optionally cooling betaine. The betaine based organic fertilizer product is applied to agricultural vegetation in one of multiple forms and by one of multiple methods.
Claims42
A process of manufacturing a betaine based organic fertilizer product comprising:
- obtaining a quantity of betaine, wherein the betaine is an N-trimethylated amino acid and is a by-product of a process for the de-sugaring of beet molasses;
- heat treating the betaine to yield heat-treated betaine, wherein heat treating the betaine to yield heat-treated betaine comprises heating the betaine in a range of 130 to 200 degrees F. for 4 hours to 15 days;
- and
- cooling the heat-treated betaine to yield the betaine based organic fertilizer product.
