Patent application number | Description | Published |
20120220454 | SEED COATINGS, COATING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR USE - Coating compositions and methods of use, allowing for improved water and/or nutrient usage by seeds, plants, shrubs, and vegetation, among others, are disclosed. | 08-30-2012 |
20120252073 | METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR TREATING STUBBLE - A method of decomposing stubble, which is crop residue left on the ground, and a composition for treating the stubble are disclosed. The method comprises treating the stubble with the composition comprising a) polysaccharide-degrading enzyme; b) wetting agent; and, optionally, c) water and allowing the treated stubble to remain on the ground and decompose. | 10-04-2012 |
20130036668 | WETTABLE, NON-LEACHABLE PEAT MOSS, METHOD OF PREPARATION, AND METHOD OF USE - A peat moss composition having improved water holding capacity, hydrophilicity, and/or anti-leaching properties comprising one or more polysaccharides, for example guars and/or guar derivatives, is disclosed. A method of preparing the peat moss composition and a method of using it are also disclosed. | 02-14-2013 |
20130145687 | Soil Additives For Promoting Seed Germination, For Prevention of Evaporation and Methods for Use - The present invention relates to methods of improving germination rates of plants or crops, and of preventing or arresting water evaporation loss from targeted soil areas by use of soil additives, which allow for improved water utilization by crops, plants, grasses, vegetation, etc. | 06-13-2013 |
20140069158 | WETTABLE PEAT MOSS, METHOD OF PREPARATION, AND METHOD OF USE - A composition comprising peat moss and one or more alkoxylates selected from the group consisting of alcohol alkoxylates and alkylphenol alkoxylates and, optionally, one or more polysaccharides, for example guars and/or guar derivatives. A synergistic effect of a combination of the alkoxylates and the polysaccharides was discovered. A method of preparing the peat moss composition and a method of using it are also disclosed. | 03-13-2014 |
20140173980 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INDUCING PREFERENTIAL ROOT TROPISM - Disclosed are methods and devices that can improve water usage by plants and grasses by, for example, inducing preferential root tropism and assisting in redistributing water within the soil. | 06-26-2014 |
20150056022 | SOIL HYDROPHILIZATION AGENT AND METHODS FOR USE - Disclosed are soil additives capable of hydrophilizing soil particles and/or increase available water capacity in soil. The soil additive are capable of increasing the available water content/capacity (AWC) in soils, the additive in one embodiment comprising a polymer composition having a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion, wherein the hydrophobic portion of the copolymer binds with the soil particle surface and the hydrophilic portion of the copolymer can bind with water. This results in the prevention, arrest or decelerated loss of water from the targeted area, for example the plant root zone, which allows for improved water usage efficiency by plants, grasses, vegetation, etc. | 02-26-2015 |
