| 20100093535 | PLANTING MIX COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - This application provides seed coating compositions and methods of making such compositions. In particular examples, such compositions include a binder and an activated charcoal-containing composition (which can further include diatomaceous earth and other components), such as seeds at least partially coated with a binder and an activated charcoal-containing composition adhered to the seed by the binder. Seeds at least partially coated with a binder and an activated charcoal-containing composition adhered to the seeds by the binder, and methods of using such seed are also provided. Also provided are seeds that have adhered thereto binder and an activated charcoal-containing composition. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20090304835 | Methods For Producing Superabsorbent Polymers For Use In Agricultural Applications - Methods and systems for producing superabsorbent polymer particles for use in agricultural applications are disclosed. A monomer is graft polymerized onto a starch to form a starch graft copolymer. The moisture content of the starch graft copolymer is reduced through the use of an extruder. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090261132 | SUPERABSORBENT POLYMER APPLICATOR - A superabsorbent polymer (“SAP”) applicator and method for administering a SAP in agricultural applications is disclosed. The SAP applicator may include a dispensing container with a SAP hydrogel disposed therein. The SAP applicator may also optionally include and dispense a growth promoting or other additive. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090069185 | SUPERABSORBENT POLYMERS IN AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS - Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) products for use in agricultural applications, and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. Certain of the SAPs include a monomer or a mixture of monomers, other than acrylonitrile, that is graft polymerized onto a starch in the presence of an initiator to form a starch graft copolymer that is cross-linked and the SAP product is isolated. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090019905 | SUPERABSORBENT POLYMER SUSPENSION FOR USE IN AGRICULTURE - Soil amendments which include starch-based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) particles are combined with a liquid fertilizer solution to form a flowable suspension. Methods for manufacturing the SAP liquid fertilizer suspension are disclosed. The starch-based SAP product may include a monomer graft polymerized onto a starch in the presence of an initiator to form a starch graft copolymer. Various mesh sizes of granular SAP particles may be mixed with a liquid fertilizer solution that optionally includes a micronutrient multivalent cation solution. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20080236037 | PLANTING MIX COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - This application provides bulking compositions and methods of making such compositions. In particular examples, such compositions include bulking agents (such as nutshell fragments of filbert or coconut shells) at least partially coated with a binder and super-absorbent polymer (SAP)-particles adhered to the bulking agents by the binder, and can further include seeds at least partially coated with a binder and containing SAP-particles adhered to the seeds by the binder. Also provided are seeds that have adhered thereto SAP-particles and activated charcoal or coir. | 10-02-2008 |
