PHYTONUTRITION PRODUCT BASED ON ZEOLITIC POWDER AND FLOUR OF

BANANAS FOR TREES AND SHRUBS

b. Specifying the scope of the invention

The invention refers to a process for obtaining a water-soluble ecological fertilizer with foliar application, based on zeolitic powder and banana flour in organic agriculture. The product contains: 32.5 ml Tween 80, 17 g Dead Sea salt, 4.8 L ultrapure water, saline solution, 75 g zeolite powder, 33.3 g banana flour. The invention is based on the production of ecological fertilizer and its use for improving the growth and reproduction of plants.

c. Specifying the known state of the art in the field of the object of the invention, with the mention of the disadvantages of the technical solutions known in recent years, there is a concern and an increased demand on the market for the production of ecological agricultural fertilizers by different methods. According to the rules imposed by the legislation in the field, the use of fertilizers without traces of chemically synthesized substances is absolutely mandatory in the practice of ecological agriculture. Thus, obtaining new substances and compounds with fertilizing action represents a continuous challenge for the field of agricultural scientific research in the 21st century.

It is known that in order to make natural biofertilizers for agriculture, mixtures of various organic wastes, or nitrogen-fixing bacteria, plant wastes are used. Methods of obtaining agricultural fertilizers from waste from sugar factories, from animal residues mixed with acid solutions are also known. in order to meet the new demands for fertilizers based on organic waste, solutions regarding different composts based on plant waste, food waste, etc. have started to appear.

For example, in the invention patents CN101195121B, CN102249780A, US 5125951/1992, EP3624960A1, US 4554002, BR102018005059A2, CN102746037A, ROI26038AO there are known methods of obtaining agricultural fertilizers obtained from organic waste.

All these processes raise problems regarding either the too acidic pH of the products, or the packaging, storage and transportation of the products obtained, which are susceptible, due to the presence of water, to ferment and degrade. The main disadvantages of the processes mentioned above are: the use of complex installations, which require high costs

RO 137704 Α2 _z purchase and operation, facilities and operational parameters of the processes are specific for a certain type of waste, require high energy consumption, long biodegradation time, in the case of aerobic processes. Such proprietary methods and compositions are highly effective for reducing soil salinity and have been shown to increase plant growth and multiplication, plant quality, and yield increased yield when used in crop production. Of course, other soil conditioners are needed to facilitate plant growth. Water and fertilizers are also used to help plant growth. Such substances help to feed the plant so that it can develop healthily and vigorously. However, in certain situations, conventional fertilizers may not be fully satisfactory in facilitating adequate plant uptake of nutrients. in such situations, plants may not be able to grow vigorously and healthily, even when conventional fertilizers are applied. To overcome such problem of inadequate nutrition, an improved ecological fertilizer disclosed in this disclosure has been found.

d. The technical problem that the invention solves

The technical problem that the present invention solves consists in creating a process that uses by-products with a low degree of recovery from the waste industry and does not require complex installations and implicitly high operating costs, does not require high consumption of energy and technological water. Also, the present product eliminates the use of the addition of synthetic substances, thus allowing to obtain an organic biofertilizer.

e. Presentation of the technical solution of the invention

The aim was to establish the optimal ratio in the composition of the production of an ecological fertilizing biocomposite containing a mixture of zeolite powder, banana flour, Tween 80, salt from M. Mortă and ultrapure water, in order to capitalize on the fertilizing potential of zeolite powder and natural salt from the Dead Sea, so as to obtain a phytonutrition product with high solubility in water, which provides the amount of nutrients needed by the plant to improve growth and reproduction.

Both banana flour/powder and salt from M. Moartă proved to be a potential fertilizer, due to the high content of micronutrients (iron, zinc) that are beneficial to plant development. Thus, the products intended for the nutrition of trees and shrubs were designed in the form of a suspension.

There are also a number of studies showing that zeolite powder contains beneficial plant nutrients (such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and nitrogen in the form of ammonium), which it releases on demand through an exchange process of ions. Zeolites also retain water and nutrients in their porous structure, meaning plants always have a reservoir of water and nutrients readily available in the soil. The combination of these effects reduces water and fertilizer use because less water is lost through filtration and evaporation, and less fertilizer is lost through runoff [Ming and Allen, 1999; Puschenreiter and Horak, 2003; Leggo P.J., 2000],

f. Presentation of one or more examples of the invention The present invention proposal is based on the following example:

Add 75 g of zeolite powder to 4.5 L of ultrapure water

The mixture is homogenized at 10000 rpm (5 minutes), filtered and the non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 is added.

Add 33.3 g of flour to 200 ml of water and filter the resulting mixture to remove larger particles.

The suspension thus obtained is added to the main mixture and subjected to homogenization at 40,000 rpm for 10 minutes.

The product is stored at a temperature of 18 □, in the dark.

g. Presentation of the advantages resulting from the application of the invention

- rapid dissolution of the fertilizer in water, the intermediate processes of dissolution in water being eliminated;

- reduced costs for the treatment applied per hectare;

- the product can be used during other treatments such as weeding, irrigation or during seed treatment;

- the biocomposite shows high stability (over time and in light) of the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics;

- by using the fertilizing biocomposite, environmental pollution is reduced by 100%;

- has a high water absorption and retention capacity when administered foliarly, regardless of soil characteristics;

According to the present invention, there is provided a new and improved fertilizer and the method of making and using it, to help the healthy and vigorous development of the plant even under conditions of development which are not totally advantageous for the development of the plant and for the early stabilization of the plant in soils, effectively and economically.
