Product, system and method for an improved fertilizer
A product, system and method for an improved plant fertilizer made from harvested skimmate from a reservoir filed with a reduced sodium, artificial ocean water solution and live fish that produce fish excrement (reclaimed as skimmate). The skimmate contains a reduced concentration of sodium as a result of being harvested from a reduced sodium aquatic solution. The harvested skimmate is mixed with one or more additives to produce an improved fertilizer that may be certified as organic.
1. A plant fertilizer comprising a combination of:
skimmate, wherein the skimmate has a sodium concentration of less than 1500 mg/L and comprises at least 47% of the plant fertilizer by volume, and wherein the skimmate comprises live bacteria;
a source of potassium comprising Ascophyllum nodosum , wherein the Ascophyllum nodosum comprises at least 10 g/L of the plant fertilizer;
a source of silicon;
a pH reducing agent, wherein the pH reducing agent comprises at least 0.25% by volume of the plant fertilizer;
a root growth enhancer comprising at least one microorganism;
a source of phosphorus and nitrogen comprising hydrolyzed fish scraps and Chilean nitrate, wherein the hydrolyzed fish scraps and Chilean nitrate comprise at least about 25% by volume of the plant fertilizer;
wherein the plant fertilizer does not comprise urea; and
wherein the plant fertilizer is provided as a concentrate.
2. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , further comprising water.
3. The plant fertilizer of claim 2 , wherein the water comprises deionized and/or reverse osmosis water.
4. The plant fertilizer of claim 2 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises at least 25% water by volume of the plant fertilizer.
5. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises at least 0.05% of the source of silicon by volume of the plant fertilizer.
6. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , wherein the pH reducing agent comprises an organic acid.
7. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a gelling agent.
8. The plant fertilizer of claim 7 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises 5-10 g/L of the gelling agent.
9. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a rooting hormone.
10. The plant fertilizer of claim 9 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises 0.1-0.5 g/L of the rooting hormone.
11. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a fungicide.
12. The plant fertilizer of claim 11 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises 0.1-0.5 g/L of the fungicide.
13. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a smell masking agent, wherein the smell masking agent is peppermint oil.
14. The plant fertilizer of claim 13 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises 0.1-0.4% smell masking agent by volume of the plant fertilizer.
15. The plant fertilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a moisture adding agent.
16. The plant fertilizer of claim 15 , wherein the plant fertilizer comprises 1-4% moisture adding agent by volume of the plant fertilizer.
