Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to agricultural biotechnology, specifically an organic foliar and basal application formula that enhances plant growth, improves root development, and promotes soil health through sustainable nutrient delivery methods. The formula aims to provide a balanced, eco-friendly nutrient mix, supporting plant health and resilience while minimizing environmental impact.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventional agriculture relies heavily on synthetic chemicals to deliver essential nutrients to plants. While effective in the short term, these chemicals often disrupt soil balance, leading to nutrient deficiencies, soil structure issues, and long-term environmental harm. Over time, synthetic inputs may deplete beneficial microorganisms that are essential for soil health, nutrient cycling, and plant resilience. The chemical residues from fertilizers and pesticides can create an imbalance in soil ecology, making plants dependent on continuous artificial inputs and reducing their natural ability to withstand environmental stresses.
Farmers worldwide face the dual challenge of maximizing crop yields while preserving soil health. Synthetic solutions, although readily available, often fail to support sustainable agriculture and can degrade soil fertility, leading to lower productivity over time. Soil salinity, a result of overusing chemical fertilizers, further exacerbates the issue by limiting water retention and reducing nutrient availability. This degradation of soil health has prompted a search for organic solutions that support high productivity without harming the environment. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides, though effective in immediate yield enhancement, ultimately compromise soil fertility and microbial diversity, essential components of a healthy agricultural ecosystem.
The development of an organic foliar spray that can boost crop yields while enhancing soil health is crucial. Such a solution would offer an alternative to synthetic fertilizers by utilizing natural ingredients, thus supporting plant health in a sustainable manner. The EcoGro formula represents a shift towards organic farming, using components like fish waste, poultry waste, and seaweed extract to promote soil health and reduce dependency on synthetic chemicals. This approach not only addresses immediate nutrient needs but also fosters a supportive environment for beneficial microorganisms that improve soil quality and plant resilience.
EcoGro is designed to serve as an affordable, eco-friendly solution that strengthens soil structure and supports healthy root and plant growth. This organic formula balances nutrient delivery and soil health, promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms and improving plants' tolerance to environmental stressors. The invention is particularly significant in the context of sustainable agriculture, as it offers a natural alternative that does not compromise soil integrity or harm the environment. By integrating natural fertilizers into a single, easy-to-use formula, EcoGro supports sustainable farming practices and enhances crop productivity.

The EcoGro formula is a unique blend of organic ingredients that enhances soil health, promotes root development, and supports overall plant growth. This formulation incorporates seaweed extract, known for its rich mineral content and growth hormones like cytokinins and auxins, which promote cell division and root elongation. The fish waste component provides essential nitrogen and trace elements, improving plant vigour and leaf development. Poultry waste complements this by supplying a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are vital for strong root systems and overall plant strength. Vermiwash, derived from earthworm compost, enriches the mixture with beneficial microorganisms and enzymes, fostering a healthy soil ecosystem and improving nutrient cycling.
EcoGro can be applied directly to plant leaves via foliar spraying or delivered to the soil through drip irrigation. The foliar application allows plants to absorb nutrients through their leaves, providing an immediate nutritional boost. For basal application, the formula is diluted and delivered directly to the root zone, ensuring a steady supply of nutrients to support root growth and improve soil health. The combination of these organic ingredients not only meets the nutrient demands of the plants but also enhances soil microbial activity, which is critical for sustainable agriculture. This balanced approach improves soil porosity, supports beneficial microbial populations, and enhances nutrient retention, making it a viable alternative to synthetic fertilizers.
The preparation of EcoGro involves fermenting fish and poultry waste to break down the organic material into a form readily accessible to plants. This process releases essential nutrients while reducing odour, making the application more manageable. After fermentation, the liquid extracts are filtered to remove any solid particles, resulting in a nutrient-rich solution. Seaweed extract is then added to this base to further enhance the nutrient profile and introduce growth-stimulating compounds. Vermiwash is included to boost microbial activity, supporting the breakdown of organic matter and facilitating nutrient absorption.
Once prepared, the EcoGro formula is ready for application in both foliar and soil treatments. For foliar use, the formula is diluted in water and sprayed directly onto plant foliage, enabling rapid nutrient uptake. In the basal application, the formula is diluted and introduced to the soil through drip irrigation, ensuring a steady nutrient supply at the root level. This dual application method allows EcoGro to cater to diverse agricultural needs, from immediate nutritional support to long-term soil health improvement. The formula's biodegradable components ensure no harmful residues are left behind, making it an environmentally safe and sustainable solution for modern agriculture.
