Process For Making a Fully Water-Soluble Granule Comprising Humic Acid and a Microbial Community Composition
Disclosed is a process for making a fully water-soluble granule comprising humic acid and a microbial community composition. Disclosed also is a fully water-soluble granule comprising humic acid and a microbial community composition. Such a granule is useful as an organic aid to crop growth, particularly in applications where solubility is desirable or necessary.
1 . (canceled)
2 . A composition comprising:
a hydrolyzed humic acid enriched particles; and
at least one lyophilized dormant bacillus microbial organism.
3 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the hydrolyzed humic acid enriched particles exhibits a moisture content of about 9 to about 15%.
4 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the hydrolyzed humic acid enriched particles exhibit a loose bulk density of about 29 to about 49 pounds per cubic foot.
5 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the hydrolyzed humic acid enriched particles are derived from leonardite.
6 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the at least one lyophilized dormant bacillus microbial organism may be rehydrated for use.
7 . The composition of claim 6 , wherein the at least one lyophilized dormant bacillus microbial organism is returned to typical metabolic activity upon rehydration.
8 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the composition has a ratio of about 1:100 to 1:5 dormant bacillus microbial organism to the hydrolyzed humic enriched particles.
9 . The composition of claim 8 , wherein the composition comprises a granule.
10 . A method comprising:
applying the granule of claim 9 to a desired location; and
rehydrating the at least one lyophilized dormant bacillus microbial organism, wherein the at least one lyophilized dormant bacillus microbial organism is returned to typical metabolic activity.
