Technical Field

Thus the present invention relates plant and soil conditioners which can be used preferably in agriculture, horticulture and the preparation and use thereof.

Background Art The basic purpose is of the modern agriculture to provide nutritious and safe raw materials for food by economic processes and sustainable and environmentally responsible production thereof. The duality of the agricultural production namely the connection between the saving of environment and the profitability is the most important question recently which can be solved only by the maintaining of the fertility of soil. The fertility of soil can be adjusted by added minerals and nutrients. In the soil, which is an independent living media the nutrients are exposed most diverse of chemical and biological transformations before they are utilized by plants. The cultivation and fertilizing should keep the intensive soil life because the intensive soil fertility without intensive soil life is not possible. As a "result" of the agricultural practices of the last decades the fertility of the soils are decreased considerably because the amount the organic materials which provide intensive soil life is reduced considerably. Our soils suffer of carbon-starvation which is enhanced by the fact that the produced primary and secondary organic products are transported from the production area for industrial use. Besides the lack of organic matters the microelement content of our soils also reduces.

Information about the changes of the conditions of our soils has been disclosed in several publications in the last decades, but we have very little useful information about the effects of the changes of the atmosphere to the soil. The examination of the effects on the soil and the answers for the problems emerging are very urgent because a significant part of the soil of Hungary has reduced productivity due to the agrochemical failures committed in the previous period.

Based on nitrogen provider capability 26%, based on phosphor providing capability also 26% and based on potassium provides capability 12% of our soils are sorted in the very weak category.

According to the surveys in Hungary from the inhibiting factors the area of the having high sand content are 750.000 hectares, the acidic soil areas are 1 .200.000 hectares, the salinity areas are about 1 .000.000 hectares and the area of shallow topsoil areas are 1 .200.000 hectares. Taking into consideration the overlapping areas there are areas almost 2.000.000 hectares which have productivity problems.

According to survey of Lajos Kreybig in 1952 followed the Turkish occupation the areas of Hungary have lost as much as humus which corresponds to about 1 .500 to of organic fertilizer. Till nowadays 7.0-7.5 to/hectare organic materials are transported from the areas a year, and the residue of roots and stems are 3.5-4.0 to/hectare.

For providing the proper agricultural functionality the organic content of the soil has to be at least 2 %. With this the soil provides the life conditions of microorganisms which mineralize the organic materials and which activities determine basically the fertilizer capability of the soil. Soils having less organic content are unable to maintain the nutrients evolved from the mineralized organic compounds, thus these are washed out from the soil caused severe environmental problems e.g. the lack of microelements in food plants which cause sever health problems for humans at the end of the food chain. The forms of the disadvantageous changes of soils are the compactness of the soil, bad air and water management, the starting of the salinization on the watered areas, the erosion and deflation. The basic cause of these changes is the degradation of the organic-mineral colloids of soil which results that there are no reactants enough in suitable amount or composition for the chemical and biological reaction in the soil. In the soil the mineral elements for the life of the microorganisms are provided by a so called organic-mineral, in other words organomineral complex. The restoration of the structure and the function of these organomineral complexes is the primary purpose of the soil improvement and soil conditioning.

For the restoration of the organic content of the soil manure was used in a smaller or more amount. As a consequence of the intensive population growth in the second half of XX century this organic content restoration form was unable to keep the suitable background for the production of the food production. The solution was the invention of the production of synthetic ammonia which cause the most important and highest environmental problem simultaneously. Lack of the invention of the Haber-Bosh synthetic ammonia production there would not be neither synthetic N fertilizers, neither problems of the nitrate contamination in ground-water, neither elevated carbon dioxide and nitrous gas amounts in the atmosphere and the amount of inhabitant of the earth would be 40-50% less then now. The intensive growth of the population made necessary the use of intensive production methods which were not used carefully enough and not the best methods were used by the farmers. Besides their not negligible results that the agricultural production could provide growing food needs such problems are generated which are appeared in the decrease of the life quality of the present generation.

Because of the manure produced by livestock is enough only for a small area for the organic compounds restoration, we have researched for a solution the economical restoration of the productivity our soils year after year. A lot of soil improving and soil conditioner have developed to overcome these problems. Such soil improving compositions are disclosed in the Hungarian patents HU200579; HU175635; and HU162799 and in the US patent application No.: 4328025 in which alginite is a components of fertilizer mixtures. The Hungarian patent applications P0400242 and the Hungarian patent HU 209926 disclose soil improving compositions in which alginate is treated with organic acids, bio-humus or humic acid additives which are used in a 10-100 to/hectare. The aim of the use of compositions for soil improvement is the restoration of the spoiled soil structure by used improper agro-technical, fertilization and cultivation technologies.

The productivity of soils is largely determined by the quality and particle sizes of the complexes are in the soil. The complexes composed from montmorillonite and different clay minerals and the high nitrogen containing humic acids which seem to be effective if their particle sizes are about 2 micrometers. These complexes provide the nutrients for the microorganisms of soil too. The dispersions and sol-s have further important role in the structure of the soil and in which the quality of the ingredient can be identified but these behaves as real solutions. Sol-s are able moving individually in soil using their cation exchanging capacity, but only in vertical direction. The different nutrients get to the inner part of the particles of lower layers of the soil through sol-s.

Important precondition of the sustainable agricultural development is the restoration of the soil productivity, the reduction of the carbon dioxide emission connected to the rule of the European Union which requires that in the next agricultural cycle the amount of nitrogen containing fertilizers prepared by Haber- Bosh synthesis has to be reduced under 50 kg/hectare by using such nitrogen containing basic fertilizers which are prepared in such plants which does not requires the use of mineral oil or gas. The alginite is a rock which containing fossil biomass, rotted basaltic and lime stone having high organic material and its very important physical property is that it absorbs 0.5-1 liters of water by kilogram and 80-90% of it is composed by clay and rock flour fractions. Average humus content is about 30% sometimes can reach 45%. Lime content is in calcium carbonate form is 33% and sometimes reaches the 40%. Till now 64 of elements has been found in the fossil biomass. Extraordinary reach are the microelement contents of it from which outstanding the N: 0.5%, P205: 0.6%, K202 0.9% and Mg: 1 %. As mineral component it contains montmorillonite, illite, dolomite, calcite, quartz, gypsum, plagioclase, siderite, magnesite, pyrites, K-feldspar. Furthermore, it contains iron, manganese, copper, zinc, cobalt, nickel, lithium, titan, chromium and cadmium from the most important microelements. One of the extraordinary effects of the humus materials is the biochemical and plant growth stimulating effect. In course the use of alginite the humic acids has an enzyme-like effect on one hand and an hormone like stimulation effect on the other hand and due to the control of the water absorption capacity of the roots alginite has an indirect effect to the growth of plants.

The significance of domestic alginite is that its extract contains 90% of alginates. The advantage of thus obtained active ingredients against alginic acid and artificial (Na-K-Mg) alginates is that the microelements such as titan, lithium assimilated in sterile environments millions of years ago are in loose alginic acid complexes. Alginic acid provides essential micro- and trace elements which are important for the enzyme activity from its stock containing more than 60 minerals. The Hungarian patent No. 206259 titled "Process for the preparation of cosmetic products containing alginite-extract as active ingredient" discloses the extraction of alginates containing trace- and microelements from alginite as fossil. According to the Hungarian patent application No P0300167 the extraction of alginates are carried out by acidic treatment. After the end of reaction the useful ionic solution was treated as much weight of soda as much as weight of organic acid was used for the extraction of the alginate content of the fossil. Because it is reacted with sodium, magnesium or potassium alkali metals, the ionic alginic acid and soda are connected to Na, K or Mg.

At the same time the inorganic lime and clay colloid content of alginite are not imbalance with the organic carbon content, which means that the high inorganic mineral content requires high organic carbon content furthermore these components have to be applied in high amount to the producing area.

It is known from the prior art that vericompost has also extraordinary efficacy compared to other compounds for soil improving agents and plant conditioners which is the result of the method of the preparation and the selection of raw materials. The used raw material which is a mixture of cow manure, leaf litter, peat is treated with 400-800 of live worms/m² and the thus prepared compost which is rich in humus materials and which further contains besides humic acids amino acids, proteins, antibacterial and antiviral compounds which can be found in the epithelial cells of the worms gut. According to the patents relating vericompost, the vericompost mostly used as a component of the horticultural soil mixtures. According to Hungarian Patents No. 206301 and 21 1396 the vericompost is extracted with warm water or treated with KOH solution used in a high weight rate.

Since the organic fertilizers resulted of the livestock is enough only in a small area of fields to restore the organic materials in the soil we wanted to find another solution for the restoration of the organic materials economically from year after year. The organic materials have crucial rule of the safe food cultivation the transformation of microelements into absorbable form. With the effective management of the organic materials of the soil reduces the claim for fossil energy used for the preparation of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. At the same time we wanted to find a solution for to increase the effectivity of use of synthetic fertilizers, reduce the soil load without the reduction of the yield, to give the required nutrient and microelements in the best form and amount for the growing plants.

There was a need for the development a composition having bio-stimulant which has a plant and/ soil conditioner effect alone, but suitable for improving the effect of usual soil improving compositions, fertilizers, synthetic fertilizers and composts and suitable for the use with pesticides. It was important that it should be dispensed together with the usual fertilizer, soil treatment agents and pesticides.

Our aim was to develop a plant conditioner composition which suitable for the improvement of the cultivation environments of plants, thus an economical intensification of cultivation.

Summary of Invention

Our aim was achieved by using hydrolysate of alginite or a derivative thereof with hydrolysate of vericompost or a derivative thereof together as plant or soil conditioner, or as a basis of a plant or soil conditioner. The object of the present invention is the use of hydrolysate of alginite or a derivative thereof and hydrolysate of vericompost or derivative thereof in combination as plant and/or plant conditioner agent.

Detailed Description of the Invention During our work, we have realized that if the soil is seemed as a poly-disperse system in which one of the components is a microorganism population, it has to deal with the lime status, cation exchange capacity, particle structure and geological evolution of the soil without forgetting the fact that the organic material is a determining factor. We have recognized that independently from the cultivation method for restoration of organic materials the use of synthetic fertilizers is unavoidable.

We have recognized that the useful ingredients for the plant cultivation of alginite and vericompost are transformed into an easily absorbable form by the acidic and/or alkaline treatment, then the thus obtained hydrolysates used in combination alone or transformed into their derivatives and used together as soil or plant conditioner.

We found surprisingly during our examinations, that if synthetic fertilizers or raw synthetic fertilizers, organic fertilizers or a mixtures thereof are treated with alginite or vericompost hydrolysates or the derivatives thereof according to the present invention the amount of the synthetic fertilizer can be considerably reduced, thus it is not necessary to apply several tons/hectare of organic fertilizers or composts but several hundreds of kilograms.

Essential recognition of the present invention is that useful components for plants of alginite and vericompost are transformed into easily accessible forms in course of acidic or alkaline treatments of alginite and vericompost. Furthermore we found that the thus obtained easily accessible nutrients using together with micronized alginite and optionally with a carrier having high specific surface area and sorption capacity can be used and put to the plants more advantageously. Thus we can provide that followed the use of the easily absorbable components further required amounts of nutrients also available for plants e.g. from the decomposition of alginite.

Namely, we found that the hydrolysates from alginite and vericompost have a synergistic effect. For example we have examined the effect of the hydrolysates of alginite, vericompost and the mixtures thereof round radish plantation (Example 2). On the 42th day from sowing we measured the mass of the biomass by pieces (root and leaves) and the germination percentage.

According to the present invention the derivatives of the hydrolysates mean the products which are prepared by the treatment of the extracts and comprise the valuable components for plants. Such derivatives can be for example lyophilized or concentrated extracts, or solid products separated from hydrolysate e.g. humic acids trace elements or mineral salts or hydrolysates absorbed onto solid carrier or dried versions thereof.

The presence of the synergy is calculated based on the measured results using calculation method of the publication CS. R. Colby: Calculating Synergistic and antagonistic Pesporse of Herbicide Combinations Weed Sci. vol. 15. p 20-22/1962 in which the expected combined effect was calculated as follows :

In which a = efficacy % of component A where kg/hectare is the application value of the component. (In this case the effect of the hydrolysate of alginite according to Example 1 .B) b = efficacy % of component B where kg/hectare is the application value of the component. (In this case the effect of the hydrolysate of vericompost according to Example 1 .C) E = calculated effect of A + B components in %, a+b is application value of components in kg/hectare.

If the % of effect of the combined components is less than the calculated (E) value according to formula above, the two compounds inhibit each other (antagonism), if the % of effect equal to the calculated value (E) the two components have additive effect. If the % effect of the combination of the two components is higher than the calculated effect according to formula above (E), the compounds have synergistic effect. The measured and calculated additive data are as follows:

Table 1

GH = composition containing derivative of hydrolysate of vericompost

ALG= composition containing derivative of hydrolysate of alginite.

ALG-GH= composition containing a mixture of derivative of hydrolysates alginite and vericompost which hydrolysates were produced by using vericompost and alginit in a weight ratio of 1 : 1 .

It can be seen that the use of humic acids resulted from different origin (raw material) and the salts of these humic acids shows synergistic effect even they are formed into a composition.

Thus according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention that the use of alginite hydrolysate or a derivative thereof, vericompost hydrolysate or a derivative thereof and at least one more component are used as soil or plant conditioner composition. Such further component can be one or more nutrients, plant hormones, solid carrier, pesticides, and/or formulation excipients.

Advantageous embodiments of the present invention are granules, wettable powders, gel, solution, suspension or suspoemulsion. From another aspect the present invention is a soil and/or plant conditioner composition which contains hydrolysate of alginite or a derivative thereof and hydrolysate of vericompost or a derivative thereof.

Advantageous embodiments of the present invention are granules, wettable powders, gel, solution, suspension or suspoemulsion. The hydrolysate of alginite or vericompost means the hydrolysates of vericompost or alginite prepared in alkaline or acidic media. According to an embodiment of the present invention at least one component the vericompost or the alginite hydrolysate is separated from the solid residue of the reaction mixture of hydrolysis. According to the other embodiment of the present invention the hydrolysates contain the solid components of reaction mixture.

The derivatives of the hydrolysates of vericompost and alginite mean according to the present invention materials which produced during the extraction procedure and contain the valuable compounds for plants. Such as can be lyophilized or concentrated solutions of hydrolysates, solid particles precipitated from hydrolysates such as precipitated humic acids, trace element containing organic or mineral salts, hydrolysates absorbed onto solid carriers or dried version thereof.

The composition according to the present comprises a mixture of vericompost and alginite hydrolysates or derivatives thereof which is prepared of amount of alginit and vericomopost in a weight ratio of 1 : 10-10:1 preferably 5: 1 -1 :5, more preferably 1 :3-3: 1 .

The composition comprises as alginite and vericompost hydrolysates a vericompost hydrolysate or derivative thereof which was prepared by treating the vericompost in an acidic pH and/or alkaline environment and an alginite hydrolysate or a derivative thereof which were treated in acidic and/or alkaline environment. According to the one of the embodiments of the present invention at least of one of the hydrolysates is present in a solid derivative form in the composition. According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention the composition also contains a sold carrier.

Solid carrier according to the present invention is such a solid material which ad- or absorbs on its surface or absorbs if a porous material in pores the hydrolysate(s) of vericompost or/and alginite. Such solid carriers can be organic or inorganic materials. As organic material peat, corncob, coconut fiber, hemp, straw, sawdust as inorganic materials stone fines or artificial materials such as artificial zeolites, or fertilizers, as natural inorganic solid carrier zeolite containing rhyolite tuff, dolomite, alginite, diatomaceous earth, bentonite, charcoal most preferably alginite or zeolite can be used.

It is known that the one of the most important factor from the point of view of nutrient supply of plants is the organic material and mineral colloid content of the soil, the so called organomineral complex. The plant absorbs the most of the required base elements from this complex. One of the mineral components of the organomineral complex is zeolite and clay minerals evolved from weathering volcanic glass. Zeolites are in rhyolite tuff and in the holes of neo-volcanic stones which are interesting firstly from the point of view of the present invention because their ion exchanging activities due to their structures. It is known that in the cations bound to the holes of the crosslinked structure of zeolites can be exchanged. From the point of view of ion exchange Zeolites seem like solid solutions. The further importance of domestic zeolites is that due to ion exchanging properties they capable for storing the active ingredients of several agrochemical agents then it release slowly provide them for the plants and soil. According to the advantageous embodiment of the present invention as solid carrier alone or mixed with other carriers potassium trachyte, optionally with rhyolite tuff containing zeolite of the formula (Meⁿ⁺)/[(AIO2)X(SiO2)y]^*mH2O in which Me stand for Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Mn2+,Fe2+ ion and the ratio between silicon and aluminum is y:x 1 : 1 -10: 1 , m means the amount of crystal water between 0-20 or the mixture thereof with other natural or synthetic zeolites. As natural and/or synthetic zeolite faujasit, cabazite, gmenilit, mordenite, ofretite, zeolite ZSM-35, or Zeolite P can be used. The extracts of alginite and vericompost applied onto the fins of alginite or zeolite behave like the organiomineral complexes in the soil as so called organomineral complex which are composed from clay colloids + humus colloids. The microelements from alginite and zeolite are in complex bounds providing the safe microelement supply for plants. Different calcium containing compounds have an advantageous effect for the soil structure and the stability of the different mineral colloids. Calcium, magnesium and potassium ions bind to the crystalline structure in strongly bound clay soil by exchange of sodium ions and improve the air and water management of them, consequently increasing the amount of nitrogen absorbing microorganisms furthermore increases the activity of cellulose decomposing bacteria, therefore speeds up the decomposition of the partially converted into humus, decomposed organic materials having high lignin content in degraded soils by air providing easily absorbable organic carbon sources for the nitrogen phosphor and potassium binding bacteria. According to the advantageous embodiment of the present invention alginit hydrolysate and vericompost hydrolysate or derivatives are in an amount which can be extracted from a weight ratio of alginite and vericompost between 10: 1 -1 :10 preferably, 1 :5-5: 1 , more preferably 1 :3-3: 1 .

We have recognized further, that the chemical and biological processes take place on the boundary surfaces, therefore, the compositions of the present invention have to meet for these requirements not only by their composition but particle sizes of organomineral complexes. In case of the interfacial reactions the larger surface is more advantageous. In the soil the catalysts (organomineral complexes) constitute a disperse system. The dispersion medium is the capillary water in the pores of the soil, the disperse parts are organomineral complexes. In the case of soil the equivalent diameter of 2 micrometer can be seen as highest limit of the colloid size. The clay components of solid phase and the organic materials meet these criteria. These soil colloids are responsible for the developing of structure of soil. Their amount is low, in a loam which contains 10 % of clay colloid in the upper 20 cm layer, their weight do not exceed the 30 kg-s, but their area more than 25 km². On the surface of the colloids the transition of the liquid phase and solid phase is not sharp but continuous. This boundary layer, which shows a different property from the solid and the fluid phases too produced by the forces evolving on the surfaces of the phases and has an important role on the cation exchange processes in the soil. The cation exchange not only influences the properties of the soil, but gives possibility to restore the soils having low productivity or degraded soils having decreased productivity.

We found surprisingly that the natural alginites fines between of particle size of 0.5-200 micrometers have horizontal moving capability which never observed before.

During examination we haven't found any publication which had mentioned that the even any of colloid disperse system of the soil was capable moving horizontally. The production, composition and use of alginite is well known, in the agricultural practice it is used as soil improving agent, as a mineral compound which improves the water management of plants. In the case of the natural alginite is ground to appropriate particle size added into soil we found that the plants get greener and grew faster not only in the treated area but the plants of untreated areas also begins to show this symptoms gradually. We found that about 4-6 weeks depending of the type of the soil the growing were similar of plants even 4- 14 meters distance from the boundary of the treated areas. We have evaluated the situation using the evolution and composition of alginites as starting point. It can be expect that the fossil formed 15-25 million years ago can't contain living cells. Using the marketed alginite this phenomenon could not be recognized because the particle size was too big to evolve the bound vegetable origin hormones and vitamins and further organic compounds which would important to the growing alga in such concentration that they would stimulate considerably algae in soil, thus the life activity nitrogen binding algae. In the case of the natural alginite is ground between 0.5-200 micrometer particle size the bio-stimulants having natural origin evolved and contacted with the soil particles and through them with the solution of soil and the microorganisms of soil which moves not only vertically but horizontally these materials and their effects also were transported. This phenomenon does not a result of a DNA, RNA or a protein of a algae species which composed the fossil and which could modify the genetic or epigenetic properties of the soil bacteria because these chemical compounds surely decomposed in this time span but it must be a result of some small molecular organic compounds having stimulant or hormone-like effect.

We have demonstrated with compositions containing zeolite that the composition takes its effect also horizontally either a hydrolysate of alginite or vericompost is on zeolite carrier having a diameter 3-5 micrometers:

For the examinations three different suspensions were prepared with the

processes described in preparation examples of suspensions.

1 . ) Suspension: zeolite 15FW 20l/hectare + 50g/l alginite + 50g/l vericomopost

2. ) Suspension: alginite 15FW 20l/hectare+50g/l acidic hydrolysate of alginite + 50g/l alkaline hydrolysate of vericompost.

3) Suspension: alginite 15FW 20l/hectare+50g/l alkaline hydrolysate of alginite + 50g/l acidic hydrolysate of vericompost.

The composition was applied in an amount of 20 l/hectare on sweetcorn plantation after sowing in the spacing centerline from which the plants were planted 38 centimeters far. The area was 100 meters long and it has 40 row spacing wide. During the examination 10 rows were treated then 20 rows were untreated. After silking we have measured the nitrogen contents of the leaves against the cob, the height of the plant and the amount of the raw cob crop. The crop from the two treated extreme area 3-3 rows and the crops of the untreated 9-1 1 and 16-17 rows were measured. The nitrogen contents of the leaves against cobs, the height of plants and the amount of the raw cob crop are in table below:

Average of rows 9- 1 ,90 157 132000 38,2 1 1

3. average of extreme 2,25 186 205000 56,7

Suspen rows of 2 x 10

sion average of rows14-5 2, 1 1 180 186000 47,3

and 16-17

Average of rows 9- 2,02 169 169000 45,4 1 1

The examination of the nitrogen content of soil and leaves were in the same time.

It can be found from the results that if the hydrolysates of vericompost and alginite are used in a mixed form, the effect is higher than a suspension containing only the mixture of vericompost and alginite.

As it can be seen from the results, with the addition hydrolysate to alginite amount of the crop of the of the plants which are farer from the treated zone the effect is growing in proportion which shows the importance of humic acid and humates and we can state that the effect of the compositions of the present invention prevail horizontally too improving the nitrogen supply of the soil.

In course of our examinations we recognized that if the alginite is treated with acidic and/or alkaline hydrolysate of alginite in an amount of 0.1 -20 weight%, preferably 2.5-10 weight% based on air-dry alginite and the average particle size of the alginite less than 10 micrometers the result a disperse system which has a very similar effect to the effect of organomineral complex of soil. It is the same situation where the alginite is treated with of acidic and alkaline hydrolysates of alginite so that that to per unit of alginite 5-20 weight% preferably 7.5-12 weight% of acidic and alkaline hydrolysates of alginite are added and the rate of the used alkaline and acidic hydrolysates are of 10: 1 -1 :10.

Such advantageous composition can be produced comprising hydrolysate of alginite and alginite if appropriate the milled alginite is hydrolyzed and the thus obtained reaction mixture is used in the composition with or without neutralization as hydrolysate. Namely, according to our observations the biological and physicochemical effects of compositions containing chemical and mechanical ground components exceed the effect the compositions which contain only mechanical ground components. The above-mentioned solid carriers are in micronized form in the compositions preferably. The average particle sizes of the solid carriers used in compositions are between 0.05-500 micrometers, preferably 0.05-100 micrometers, more preferably 0.05-40 micrometers, most preferably 0.1 -10 micrometers. The average particle is size according to the present description the median (D₅₀).

Particle size measurement and particle distribution analysis has been carried out using an Analysette 22 type laser particle analyzer, which operates on the basis of Fraunhoffer light deflection. The measurement range of the instrument can be selected between 0.1 and 1000 microns. The sample requirement is 0.5 to 1 .0 g which is suspended in 250 ml of liquid (distilled water). In the case when distilled water is not suitable as suspending liquid, different other liquids (alcohols, glycerol, mineral and organic oils) can be used as well. The agglomerates are dispersed by ultrasonication and the homogeneous dispersion is maintained. The average particle size can be expressed as an algebraic average (S), geometrical mean (M), square quadratic mean (N) or harmonic mean (H) of the geometric particle size (x). Based on the distribution curves, the following values characterizing the particle size can also be reported. Median is the particle size belonging to the 50% point of the cumulative curve. The modal value is the particle size measured at the maximum of the density distribution curve. In the present specification, under average particle size, the median is meant, which is the particle size belonging to the 50% point of the cumulative curve.

The plant or soil conditioners according to the present invention besides of hydrolysates of alginite and vericompost can contain further nutrients.

The compositions according to the present invention as nutrient can contain biologically quickly recoverable carbon and nitrogen sources such as organic acids, preferably malonic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, ascorbic acid, phosphor and potassium containing synthetic fertilizers, urea-formaldehyde condensates, urea phosphate, potassium phosphate, oxamide, as fertilizer phosphates, nitrates, preferably, phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, potassium phosphate, potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, micronized alginite, or a mixture thereof, plant or animal proteins, peptides, e.g. myozin, keratin, myoglobin, hemoglobin, glutathione, amino acids such as glycine, tryptophan, methionine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, alanine, serine, proline, valine, leucine or a salts, preferably potassium, calcium or magnesium salt or a mixture thereof.

Degradable oleic acids and carboxylic acids are in the base components of the compositions of the present invention. It is known, that the alkane carboxylic acids behave as a surfactant at a specified pH. The strongest surface tension reduction effect of the everyday used alkali carboxylic acid sodium salts, soaps, is in alkaline range (pH 7-10). In course of our examinations we found surprisingly an unexpected result that in course of the alkaline extraction of alginite and/or diatomaceous earth and/or peat in aqueous media in case of the oils containing different organic and inorganic contaminants, the pH range is significantly lower (pH 4.5-6.5). In this hydrogen ion concentration the carboxylic acids are in acid form so it cannot explain the reduction of the surface tension with classical theories for the explanation of the reduction of the surface tension because the location of hydrophil and lypophil carbon-chain parts are not influenced by alkaline. According to our examinations the oils of the composition of the present invention (preferably 50g/l) reduce the surface tension between pH 5.8-6 to 40dyn/cm: We have examined the surface tensions of the compositions of the present invention: Table 3

Thus, oils extracted from diatoms, alginite or peat are advantageous components of the compositions of the present invention. The efficacy of the chemicals used in agricultural industry is largely depends on the sprayed spray forms spheroid drops or flat spreads on the surface of leaves. For the better wetting and adhesion different oil derivatives are used. In course of our examinations we recognized that there is a strong similarity from the point of view of the surface tension between the surfaces of the leaves and the organomineral complex comprising clay colloid, humus materials, phosphate and calcium and which is the location of the biological, physical and chemical reactions of soil. As the efficacy of the sprayed pesticide depends on that how the drops spread on the surface of leaves, between the soil colloid and soil solution also a rule that the greater surface contact results higher physical and chemical reaction rate in the soil colloids. For increase the reaction rate the oil extract from alginite, peat or diatomaceous earth can be used whish do not reduce the surface tension only but they have biological activity too.

Such oils, peat oil, diatomaceous oil, and oils from alginite can be prepared by milling alginite and/or peat and/or diatomaceous earth particle size between of 10- 1000 micrometer, preferably 40-200 micrometers. The ground raw material is treated in alkaline media with alkali or alkali earth metal hydroxides and/or carbonates and/or hydrogen carbonates, optionally with ammonium hydroxide, where the alkaline compounds are used 0.0001 -0.2 moles amount, so that pH of the reaction mixture is between 9.0-12.0, preferably 9.5-10.5 and the weight rate of the used aqueous phase and the alginite and/or peat and/or diatomaceous earth is between 50: 1 -10.0, preferably 20:0.5-2.0. The reaction mixture is kept under continuous stirring for 30-60 minutes at 35-40°C in an autoclave equipped heating and cooling system, then the mixture is kept to stay for 20-24 hours, and then the supernatants were filtered. The filtrate was frozen and the oil is separated from the frozen water.

According to an advantageous form of the present invention the composition comprises auxiliary agent formulation.

According to the present invention can contain if necessary further compounds and excipients which are usually used in agricultural industry such as binders, disintegrating agents, antiadhesives and chemical stabilizing agents, disperging agent, surfactants, penetration enhancer, complex forming agent, stabilizers, solvents, suspension stabilizers or a mixture thereof.

Efficacy enhancing effects of these compounds based on the fact that the acids and salts having pesticide effect form hardly soluble salts with magnesium and calcium which are responsible varying hardness of water. These salts practically cannot be absorbed from the surface of plants, thus the precipitated amount reduces the efficacy. The calcium and magnesium content of surface water and formation water which are used for the preparation of spray can be neutralized with the complex forming agents of the compositions.

The size of the fertilizer preferably varied between 0.5-4.5 mm depending on the used mechanical spraying technology needs. The porous carriers having homogeny particle size fraction can be prepared by milling of the raw mine porous carrier to an appropriate particle size, or it is granulated from powder using known method.

The efficacy of the suspension composition of the present invention can be improved by using different oil additives firstly by added oil extracted from diatomaceous earth. In the composition of the present invention the weight ratio of the suspension and solid particles (elemental sulfur, copper oxychloride, alginite, calcite, dolomite, potassium tuff, potassium trachyte, zeolite) is between 1 :0.05- 0.25.

The plants tolerate well the compositions of the present invention in the concentration which necessary to achieve the required effects, thus they can be used for the treatment of seeds, plant parts over the ground and roots. The scope of the protection of the present invention covers the processes too in which the plants are treated with an effective amount of growth regulator compositions according to the present invention. The chemical compounds and the compositions containing thereof can be used with known methods in an effective amount. From these processes here we mention for example the leaf or soil treatment, seed treatment or the dipping of roots of seedlings.

Another aspect of the present invention is a process for the preparation of soil and/or plant conditioners which can be achieved that a.) alginite and vericompost are hydrolyzed in alkaline or acidic media separated each other, then the obtained hydrolysates optionally transformed to derivatives thereof, and the thus obtained alginite and vericompost hydrolysates or derivatives thereof are mixed, or b.) alginite and vericomost are hydrolyzed in alkaline or acidic media together and the obtained mixture of hydrolysates of alginite and vericompost optionally transformed to derivatives and the thus obtained mixture is optionally formulated.

Namely, the thus obtained mixture of hydrolysates of vericompost and alginite are suitable alone for the use as plant or soil conditioner. At the same time it can be advantageous, that the obtained mixture is formulated in a well manageable form which can be applied with generally used application techniques of agricultural industry. Such forms are e.g. granules, wettable powders, gels, solutions, suspension or suspoemulsoions.

According to the present invention the hydrolysis in alkaline media means that alginite, vericompost, optionally a mixture thereof in presence of water or humidity, reacted with inorganic bases.

According to the present invention the hydrolysis in acidic media means that alginite, vericompost, optionally a mixture thereof in presence of water or humidity, reacted with organic or inorganic acids, or with salts which show acidic pH in their aqueous solutions or suspensions. Hydrolysis of alginite and vericompost can be carried out either in separated reaction mixtures, or with the mixture of alginite and vericompost. Optionally, the reaction mixtures besides alginite and vericompost can contain further components which can be also hydrolyzed e.g. peat or diatomaceous earth or such components, which helps the further use of the thus obtained hydrolysates, but do not take part in the reaction such nutrients organic or inorganic carriers which influence the practical applicability of the thus obtained solution for plant or soil conditioner. Such compounds which can help the formulation or the applicability of the obtained solution can be the auxiliary agents used in the agriculture, e.g binder, disintegrating agent, antiadhesive and chemical stabilizers dispersant, surfactant, penetration enhancer, complex forming compound, stabilizers, solvents, suspension stabilizers, or a mixture thereof.

According to an embodiment of the present invention the hydrolysate is separated from the reaction mixture after completion of the reaction by removing the solid residue and the fluid phase is further used. According to another embodiment of the present invention the hydrolysate is not separated from the reaction mixture but the whole reaction mixture is used implemented with other reaction steps such as the pH adjustment.

According to a further embodiment of the present invention we can add 0.1 moles phosphorous acid based on 1 moles KOH to the reaction mixture containing the base, alginite and vericompost after completion of the reaction. The precipitated materials (humic acids) which precipitated because of added acid are not separated but it handled in the obtained form with adding alginite or optionally with rhyolite tuff containing zeolite. The phosphorous acid and/or salts thereof can be between 5-10weight% the amount of alginite and vericompost between 10-60 weight% The composition according to the present invention can also contain humates , humic acids in an amount of 0.1 -5 weight%.

Optionally, in course of the preparation of the compositions the extracts of alginite and/or vericompost are transformed into extract derivative(s). These derivatives are according to the present invention materials which formed with treatments of these hydrolysates and contain the explored compounds from the hydrolysates which valuable components for plants. Such derivatives can be the lyophilized or concentrated hydrolysates, or solid components separated from hydrolysates such as separated humic acids, organic or inorganic salt of trace elements, hydrolysates absorbed onto sold carriers or dried variations thereof. According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention the hydrolysates are transformed from fluid form to a solid form by the adjustment of pH of alkaline hydrolysate, e.g. with the acidification the humic acids are precipitated and can be separated. We can precipitate the humic acids also by adding solvents or desalting. But the solutions can be evaporated or spray dried too. The compositions according to the present invention can contain of the non-soluble components of alginite or vericompost. Which means that is not necessary the separation of active components extracted by alkaline or acidic extraction. The extracts of the composition containing extracts of alginite and vericompost can be prepared by the treatment of the mixture of alginite and vericompost.

As base in the case of alkaline hydrolysis preferably ammonium, alkali metal or alkali earth metal hydroxides, ammonium, alkali metal, alkali earth metal hydro- carbonates, ammonium, alkali metal, alkali earth metal carbonates, alkali metal, alkali earth metal oxides, more preferably ammonium, sodium, potassium and calcium hydroxides, hydrogen carbonates, calcium oxide, sodium, potassium and ammonium carbonate are used. We found during our experiments, that besides the use of sodium or potassium hydroxide as base for the extraction of vericompost and alginite for exploring humus materials also ammonium hydroxide is used we can improve the biological efficacy of humus materials because the increased rate of basic NH- a NH2 functional groups increase the alkaline character of the humus materials thus improves the life conditions of the soil microorganisms. The weight rate of the NaOH or KOH and NH₄OH based 100 weight% base are 20-1 : 1 -10, preferably, 10-1 : 1 -10, more preferably 5: 1 -1 :5, most preferably 5: 1.

We can get an alginite hydrolysate which is rich of microelements that alginite and/or peat are milled to 10-1000 micrometers preferably 40 micrometers. The milled raw material is treated with acidic or alkaline treatment. The treatment is carried out between 15-100°C, preferably 30-60°C, more preferably 30-45°C. After the treatment the solid residue is filtered off and fluid phase can be used in unchanged form or the pH of the fluid phase can be adjusted in a required value (pH 7.0-7.5).

According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention the process a.) is carried out so that the one of the components of alginite and vericompost is hydrolyzed in acidic media, while the other is hydrolyzed in alkaline media. In a preferable embodiment the alkaline hydrolysate of alginite or a derivative thereof and the acidic hydrolysate of vericompost or derivatives thereof are mixed and used alone or formed into composition by using blended with further nutrients and/or formulation excipients.

For the process alginite and vericompost are used in a weight ratio of 1 : 10-10: 1 , preferably 1 :5-5: 1 more preferably 1 :-3: 1.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention the hydrolysis is carried out with milled alginite and vericompost having an average particle size of 0.5-500 micrometers, preferably 0.5-200 micrometers, most preferably 0.5-40 micrometers.

More particularly the process can be carried out as follows: a. ) alginite and/or vericompost are suspended in water than an inorganic base is added to the reaction mixture, then the reaction mixture left to stay or under stirring if necessary, or b. ) alginite and/or vericompost are suspended in water than an inorganic or organic acid or salts showing acidic pH in their aqueous solution or suspensions are added to the reaction mixture in a form of solution, suspension or solid form, then the reaction mixture left to stay or under stirring if necessary. The hydrolysis takes a period of time between 4 hours and 6 days, preferably 1 -5 days. The hydrolysis is carried out at temperature between 15-100°C, preferably between 30-60°C, most preferably between 30-45°C. The pH value of the reaction mixture during the alkaline hydrolysis is 9-12, preferably 9.5-10.5, in the case of acidic hydrolysis less than 6.2.

Alternatively, according to the present invention in the case of hydrolysis the aqueous mixture of alginite and vericompost can be stirred for 12 hours at 30- 35°C, then it is treated with alkali metal hydroxide and/or carbonate and/or hydrogen carbonate, preferably ammonium hydroxide and/or sodium carbonate and/or potassium hydrogen carbonate in a manner that the pH of the reaction mixture is slightly basic the pH between 7.2-7.4. The mixture is stirred for 4-6 hours at 30-35°C then after a necessary dilution the thus obtained tailings and supernatant together with formulation auxiliary agents are milled with bead mill to a particle size of 2-5 micrometers. We can also carried out the process that alkaline extract and acidic extract are prepared separately, then mixed in a weight ratio of 100: 1 -1 : 100, preferably 10: 1 -1 : 10 more preferably 2: 1 -1 :2 and then milled as above mentioned.

In a particularly preferred embodiment for the preparation of hydrolysate of the present invention that 0.01 -10 weight part air-dry alginite, 5-35 weight part of air dry vericompost and 100 weight part of 0.5-2.5 weight% solution of 90 weight% of KOH is kept at 30-35°C for 5-4 days and stirred periodically until the pH value stabilizes at between 1 1.0-1 1 .5. Followed the stabilization of pH of the obtained vermicompost and alginite hydrolysate the mixture is adjusted to pH 7.5-8.0 with a mild acidic solution. The thus obtained solution is milled in colloid mill with 0.1 -25 weight%, preferably 5-15 weight percent of air dry alginite so that the particle size of the alginite particles become in a range of 1 -5 micrometer.

The necessary time for the hydrolysis is depends strongly from the strengths of the used acid or base, concentration and the used temperature. For example the use of less soluble calcium hydroxide requires more time than the use of KOH which is very soluble in water using same temperature. The selection of the basis or acid besides the technological point of view depends on that the salts formed with the used acid, or the cations of the used base which remain in a salt form in the composition are meet the technological requirements. For example with using hydrochloric acid treatment of alginite or vericompost the extraction is faster than using citric acid but with this composition many chloride ions are introduce to the soil, furthermore, salts of hydrochloric acid are unable for complex forming and quickly washed out from the soil. The person skilled in the art based on the requirement of the use and the plant variety can select the most suitable base or acid mixtures which results the best composition. After the selection of these, the person skilled in the art based on the present description and the working example can clearly define the time necessary and the suitable process. The composition can be carried out by adding further one or more nutrient(s) and/or formulation excipients are added besides the alginite and vericompost.

The alkaline hydrolysis can be carried out, that alginite and/or vericompost in presence of a base in a fluidization reactor is fluidized between 60-100°C, preferably between 75-95°C, more preferably between 80-85°C in a gas having 60-100% relative humidity preferably in saturated humid gas, for 2-6 hours.

The hydrolysis is carried out for 2-24 hours, preferably 6-18 hours, more preferably 10-12 hours between a temperature 20-100°C, preferably between 30-60°C, more preferably between 30- 45°C and the mixture is stirred in every few hours. The thus obtained hydrolysate is milled in a colloid mill then sieved in a pressure used for filter with a filter cartridge having screen of 200-300 mesh then the clear filtrate is used for the preparation of different compositions for foliage treatment.

According to a very advantageous embodiment of the present invention two-two weight parts of peat and vericompost having 85 weight% dry matter content and 1 weight part of dried alginite are suspended in 6-7 weight parts of 2.5 weight% KOH solution and kept between 30-40°C for 72 hours. Then the pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to between pH of 8.5-9 by adding diluted phosphoric acid (25 weight%) and ammonium-thiosulfate added to the mixture in which contains 12 weight% of nitrogen and 26 weight% of sulfur. The thus obtained mixture is stirred with high shear slurry pump once or twice for three or four hours and kept the temperature of the mixture below 60-65°C. The pH of the mixture is adjusted between 7.2-7.5 with weak acid or base. From 0.9 weight part of the thus obtained solution are mixed with 0.1 weight part of beta-glucoside and homogenized. The thus obtained composition can be used for increase of the efficacy of NPK fertilizers in an amount of 10-25 kg/hectare dose so that in case of the use of PK fertilizer the adjuvant is applied onto the surface of the fertilizer in an a mount of 3- 6 kg/100 kg in a suitable mixer. In the case of N, NP and NPK fertilizers the adjuvant is applied onto a carrier having high specific surface preferably onto a rhyolite tuff containing zeolite in an amount of 10-30 weight%. The thus obtained mixture is applied alone or mixed with fertilizers to the productivity area in an amount of 50-300 kg. We can also use the composition so that the hydrolysate of alginite, peat and vericompost are filtered with a vibration sieve with 50 micrometer particle size. To the thus obtained composition is added ammonium thiosulfate. The weight ratio of the hydrolysate and thiosulfate is 1 : 1 . To 0.9 weight parts of the mixture and 0.1 weight part of the beta-glucoside are mixed. The mixture is milled in colloid mill under particle size of 10 micrometer and sprayed in an amount 10-25 liter/hectare to the production area before or at the same time with spreading of fertilizers.

The advantage of the process that the produced press cake which is the side product can also be used because contains hydrolysates of alginte and vericompost. The filter cake remaining the filter can be used for the preparation earthy compost so that peat and/or raw lignite and/or sawdust or any water absorbing organic material are layered in a high of 30-40 cm the onto this basic layer small amount of carbonated lime and slurry of the livestock farms which can be completed with ash and other organic waste which are not dangerous for the nature or the users. The height of this layer is generally 10-20 cm which covered with good quality humus containing soil. These layers are repeated until the height of the prism exceeds the height of 1 .5-1 .6 m. To keep of the humidity of the site is solved by spraying a suspension made by soaking of filter cake in warm water. Usually 5 kg of milled filter cake are added to 1001 of water. The starting humidity of prism is about 65-75 %. At the end of the process the humidity has to be reduced to 10-20%. For accelerate the fermentation process (aging) to the fermentation liquid 0.01 -0. kg of a multi-strain bacteria manure of EM1 and 0.4-0.5 weight% namely 4-5 kg ammonium sulfate fertilizer are also mixed per ton. After 6- 8 weeks the thus prepared active carrier can be used for the preparation of organomineral fertilizer complexes. The thus obtained earthy compost is also a part of the present invention.

The (B) composition can be prepared with further transformation of composition (A) so that the composition (A) is mixed with further nutrients, optionally with organic or/and inorganic fertilizers and other excipients which increase the effects then the homogenized mixture is milled in colloid mill to get an average particle sizes between 0.5-15 micrometers, preferably 1 -10 micrometers, more preferably 1 -5 micrometers. The suspension can contain preferably alginite, gafsaphosphate, urea, dried seaweed as nutrient and poly-glucosides and diatomaceous oil as enhancer. In the case of the aim is to increase the fertilizer availability and the improvement of the soil structure, the rate of the component (A) should be increased, in the case of the aim is increasing the microbial activity the component (B) should be increased.

According to another embodiment of the present invention the suspensions mentioned above enhance the effect of fertilizers. As enhancer we can use these compounds that the suspensions are formulated together with the fertilizers. Preferably, we can proceed that the suspension is absorbed into a solid carrier preferably so that the weight ratio of the suspension and the carrier is 5:95-40:60, preferably 10:90-30:70, most preferably 10:90-20:80. The solid carrier can be any of the above mentioned carriers, but preferably rhyolite tuff containing zeolite and/or sedimentary limestone most preferably a mixture thereof can be used. The thus impregnated solid carriers are milled preferably to particles having an average particle size of 40-100 micrometers and optionally mixed with further nutrients, and bind to the surface of fertilizer particles using appropriate binders.

The compositions of the present invention also useful for the preparation of gel compositions in such a way that we prepare hydrolysate of alginite and voricompost, prepared used any process mentioned above, preferably using alkali media then the thus obtained hydrolysate is mixed with formulation excipients, preferably with surfactants and suspension stabilizers and the thus obtained mixture is adsorbed onto a solid carrier preferably onto potassium trachyte, alginite or zeolite. In the most preferable embodiment it is applied onto potassium trachyte and alginite separately. The ratio of the suspension and the solid carrier are 5- 20:95-80, preferably 10-20:90-80, most preferably 25:85. The average particle size of the carrier is between 15-40 micrometers.

According to a very advantageous embodiment of the present invention a plant conditioner and fungicide composition containing bio-stimulant is prepared so that in the first step alginite and vericompost are hydrolyzed in alkaline media using any of processes mentioned above or we can proceed more preferably that to the mixture potassium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are added and the obtained mixture is remixed in every hours with a high speed mixer.

Similarly, a further embodiment of the present invention is the preparation of sulfur or copper containing plant conditioners, which is carried out by preparation suspension containing hydrolysates essentially as mentioned above which suspension is used alone or applied onto a solid carrier and mixed with ventilated elemental sulfur or micronized copper oxychloride and further excipients e.g. suspension stabilizer, and the particle size is adjusted of the solid particles of the mixture by milling if necessary.

In course the preparation of the compositions the mixing, homogenizing, milling and other processes used generally in the chemical industry (e.g. the separation of particle fractions and selection of the fractions for the compositions) can be carried out according to the state of the art with apparatuses known also from the state of the art. The preparation of granules, suspensions and suspoemulsions can be carried out with known methods and apparatus which also parts to state of the art. The selection and optimization of used processes belong to the general knowledge of the person skilled in the art.

The advantages of the present invention as follows: - Using the synergistic effects of extracts of alginite and vericompost such bio- stimulant compositions are prepared which help even alone the nutrient and microelement supply of plants, and

- help the utilization of natural and synthetic fertilizers, and - they have a horizontal effect in the soil thus they can apply with grater row spacing compared the compositions of the prior art which result considerable economic and environment advantages too.

- The extracts of the present invention not only can be applied together with the fertilizers but the can be formulated together. These formulations make possible to achieve a more effective result because the compositions of the present invention having bio-stimulant effect is placed in the same place with the other active ingredients.

- The compositions according to present invention make possible the formulation together pesticides with nutrients and bio-stimulant. Thus, such compositions can be prepared which besides the nutrition of plants meet the requirements of plant protection.

- The horizontal and vertical moves of the compositions of the present invention result that the passing down hydrolysates or derivatives thereof to the deeper layer of soil than 10-30 cm make advantageous life conditions for useful microorganisms in that depth, which followed by roots. The deeper root system supports a safer water supply and greater root system which supply more carbon for the microorganisms.

With the use of the compositions of the present invention we support more advantageous life conditions for the microorganisms which absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere thus replace the organic fertilizers. Furthermore the more active microorganisms in deeper zone of soil absorb more nitrogen from the atmosphere too, thus ensure the required nutrient content even in the case of reduced of organic nutrients and fertilizer supply.

With the compositions according to the present invention the contradiction of the growing population of the world which has to be supplied by food in such a way that in the same time the cultivation technology has to be changed because of the result of changing weather conditions caused by global climate changing and besides the increasing requirements of authorities and society connected to the environmental protection. During in our work we have recognized that these aims can be achieved only if the active zone of soil layer 10-30 cm, where the microbial activity is the most intensive is extended to the deeper zones. It can be achieved only if the life conditions of microorganisms are assured in the deeper layers of soil, which entails the penetration of the roots in deeper layers of soil. This aim can be achieved with the use soil conditioners and soil structure improving compositions according to the present inventions and the organomineral fertilizers and soil improving compositions of the present invention. For this purpose we have prepared such soil conditioners, and soil improving agrochemicals which increase the amount and activity of nitrogen binding microorganisms in the deeper layers of the soil, furthermore, advantageously modify the base composition of soil. These compositions and actions at the same time increase the CO2 absorbing ability of soil too. With this fact we fulfilled the first condition for the penetration of root systems to the deeper nutrient containing layers. The interaction of the root system and microorganisms makes possible to penetration of further microorganisms, which entails further growing of roots leading the increase of absorption of further CO2. In the case the compounds of the present invention were used on the whole production area of the four crop plants (winter wheat, corn, rapeseed, sunflower), in case of 20% growing the amount of absorbed CO2 would be as much as are absorbed by our forests yearly.

With the increase of N-fixing bacteria living in soil the weight of the absorbed nitrogen from the atmosphere grows 20-80 kg which can reduce the use of N fertilizers or can increase the amount of absorbable nitrogen for plants.

With the process of the present invention we can influence the natural nitrogen absorbing property of soil therefore it is not necessary to install new algae breeding farms, but we can reuse the algae breading sites which were operated 20-25 million years ago by nature by the milling of mine raw alginite to such particle size that their biological effect be prevailed. Summarized, the compositions of the present invention capable for that because their use results that the field crop production process can be changed easier, safer and causing less environment pollution as it is required by the changes in the natural environment and the society. The present invention is illustrated in examples as follows without the limitation of the scope of the present invention to the examples.

Example 1

A.) Preparation of a mixture containing humic acid from alginite and vericompost Step A/1 : process for the preparation of humic acid mixture from alginite and vericompost

A mixture of humic acids is prepared using 1 kg mixture of alginite and vericompost containing the components in a weight rate of 1 :1 . In a fluidization reactor 1 kg mixture of milled alginite and vericompost having a particle size of 0.2-0.3 mm, 50 g of soda and 50 g of raddle are added. In the conditioning tower air was saturated with water at 80°C and then it was adjusted to 60°C with1000 l/hour flow. This air was used to float the mixture for four hours meanwhile the production of humic acids has finished at a rate of 85%. The thus obtained mixture was used for the preparation of the subsequent composition. Step A/2

Granulation of humic acids.

The mixture prepared according to the step A/1 was milled in several steps using a bead mill of Dyno KD type to a particle size of 0.5-3.0 then the powder was applied onto the surface of rhyolite tuff containing zeolite having a particle size between 40-100 micrometers, where the amount of the mixture of A/1 is 7.5 weight%. To the thus obtained mixture 5 weight% of calcium lignin sulfonate are added and homogenized in a Lodige mixer and the thus obtained homogenate is pressed through holes having 1 mm diameter using a twin-screw extruder of the type APV- LM 50 with 70°C of steam-jacket. The obtained extrudates are cooled and dried for a short period then added to a spheronizer having a rotation rate of 1500 and formed to 0.1 -2.0 mm long rods from which the fraction of 0.4-1 ,2 mm long is separated by vibrating sieve. B.) Preparation of granules containing humic acid from alginite

We proceed in the same manner as the point A.) with the difference that 1 kg of alginite is used as starting material

C.) Preparation of granules containing humic acid from vericompost

We proceed in the same manner as the point A.) with the difference that 1 kg of vericompost is used as starting material

Example 2: Examination of synergic effect

The synergic effects between the components of the composition of the Example 1 of the present invention were determined by Colby method. The test was accomplished by using red radish. We measured the mass of the biomass by pieces (root and leaves) and the germination percentage. r- , ₇ a x b

E— a + b

100

In which a = efficacy % of component A where kg/hectare is the application value of the component.

b = efficacy % of component B where kg/hectare is the application value of the component.

E = calculated effect of A + B components in %, a+b is application value of components in kg/hectare. If the % of effect of the combined components is less than the calculated (E) value according to formula above, the two compounds inhibit each other (antagonism), if the % of effect equal to the calculated value (E) the two components have additive effects. If the % effect of the combination of the two components is higher than the calculated effect according to formula above (E), the compounds have synergistic effect. (CS. R. Colby: Calculating Synergistic and antagonistic Pesporse of Herbicide Combinations Weed Sci. vol. 15. p 20-22/1962.)

It can be concluded that the effects of the humic acids having different origin ( materials) have synergic effect even they are formulated into a composition.
