Abstract

Plant nutrition and irrigation composition comprises 94-96.6 wt.% water, 3.5-4 wt.% cellulose and 0.4-3.5 wt.% potassium nitrate. The composition includes foliar fertilizers or salinity correctors or biostimulants or humic and fulvic acids in partial or total substitution of potassium nitrate.

Description

Compound for nutrition and the risk of plants.

Description of the invention

The object of the present invention as it is expressed in the statement of this specification consists of a compound for nutrition and irrigation of water-based plants and Nutrients served gelatinously.

One of the most important problems that represents the possession of plants in homes offices and in general Enclosed spaces resides in the permanent need for irrigation. It it implies in many cases a significant deterioration of these when the person in care has to interrupt these for short periods, for example during a vacation absence.

As an alternative to this problem they have been designed solutions based on automatic irrigation systems where it is activated the irrigation of the plants through a complex system of service timing. This solution is not appropriate for typical plants that decorate the home since it is usually a system expensive that needs a complex installation so the costs of implantation are usually unfeasible.

The second much more widespread alternative is the use of pots and planters equipped with complementary deposits of water. This solution is simple to apply, because the replacement of all sherds with planters or pots with such built-in deposit, however these items usually have a relatively high acquisition cost, and usually its design is usually limited by manufacturing materials, in all plastic cases, so there are no elements similar made of clay or decorated porcelain.

In either case, neither system contemplates the possibility of sustained nutrient administration of reinforcement to the plants.

On the other hand, it has been shown that these devices are not suitable for all types of plants, since in Many cases the accumulation of water can be so harmful to The plant as its lack. In the same sense, it should be said that these devices provide water by capillarity, and therefore they are very affected by the ambient temperature which can be prone to a very rapid evaporation of this plant remaining without water during the holiday period of the person in charge of the same.

These same problems can be transferred to others. situations such as irrigation of urban plants in places with few annual rainfall

Such inconveniences have motivated the search for a solution to the problem of irrigation not based on the concepts traditional if not in the application of a product capable of provide water to the plant for a long time and at a cost tight.

In response to this premise it has been developed the present invention consisting of a compound of water, cellulose and slow-release gelatinous nutrients that are gradually become liquid when coming into contact with the natural microbiological activity of the soil, which is a new concept in the irrigation of plants: a 100% natural product that allows to keep the plants in perfect condition for 30 days or more (depending on the doses provided) without watering or pay them. Water, nutrients and cellulose itself that releases in a gradual and constant way it is one hundred percent usable by plant roots, water dissolving the nutrients of pot soil, and cellulose together with potassium nitrate acting as complementary and reinforcing nutrients.

That's why it is the ideal system for planters, urban, medium-sized islets and other elements that, in most of the cases must be watered manually as it is impossible to apply an automated irrigation; and it is also the definitive solution for vacations or long periods of absence in the case of plants domestic, both outdoor and indoor.

Specifically, the novel compound for Nutrition and plant irrigation is made up of three elements, water in 94 to 96.5% by weight, cellulose in 1.5 to 4% in weight and potassium nitrate in 0.2 to 3.5% by weight.

In this composition, the water molecules and potassium nitrate are mechanically linked to the molecule of cellulose.

This compound at room temperature presents a gelatinous consistency, being packaged for use in a plastic container with an upper lid.

Description of a case study

The following describes a case study of the invention, which comprises both a detailed description of the product as well as an explanation of its use.

The novel compound for nutrition and Plant irrigation is made up of a gelatinous mass formed by 2.85% by weight of cellulose, 96.15% by weight of water and 1% by weight of potassium nitrate.

Said product is packaged in 250 ml portions in a plastic container with an upper lid.

Its use is as follows:

First, the plant is irrigated with abundant Water. Then the container is opened and the fingers are separated product of the walls of this, cutting the lid with scissors. Next, a small hole is made in the soil of the pot or gardener, using fingers. The container is placed in the hole (without removing it) down so that the product comes into contact with the earth At that time, the microbiological activity of  the microorganisms present in the earth, begins to attack the novel gel destroying the chemical bonds that fix the water and potassium nitrate to cellulose releasing both components of a constant way.

Established the expressed concept, it is written to then the note of claims, thus synthesizing the news that you want to claim.
