Granule formulations as biochemical agricultural products
View Patent ↗The present disclosure includes the composition and methods of a granule formulation consist using a liquid biological active that has great handling properties yet still efficacious. The biological active is absorbed into or spray onto a mixture of carriers, dispersants, and/or wetting agents. When the product is formulated as a granule, it has good durability and does not dust which increases handleability of the product during application.
1. A water dispersible granule comprising
about 30 weight percent of fermentation solids from Chromobacterium subtsugae,
about 15 weight percent clay,
about 5 weight percent lignin sulfonate,
about 5 weight percent Sodium Lauryl Sulfate,
about 20 weight percent Ammonium Sulfate,
about 15 weight percent Microcrystalline Cellulose, and
about 10 weight percent of Croscarmellose Sodium.
2. A method of treating plants comprising the steps of:
obtaining the composition from claim 1 ;
mixing the composition with water; and
spraying said composition to one or more plants or substrates.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said plant comprise sugar beet.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein said plant is a grain crop.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said grain crop comprises soy, wheat, rice, or corn.
6. A method of making an extrusion granule comprising the steps of
providing the water dispersible granule of claim 1 ; and
extruding the water dispersible granule through an extruder.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising drying the water dispersible granule before extruding the water dispersible granule through an extruder.
