[Terrapreta] Fossil fueled based fertilizers

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Nikolaus!

You are absolutely correct about the misspelling.  Please excuse my misspelling.  What is "unease"?  You sound like you have a very advanced approach to fertilizer application and crop plant nutrition.  Do you think your approach is very common?  Do you think it is the most common?  Is your approach less expensive (polymer carriers for high nitrogen fertilizer)?

Regards,

SKB

  Dear Sean!

  Its Haber-Bosch not Haber Bauch. To avoid toxicity of Ammonia and Urea you
  can Polymerize the stuff using 1 :1 Formalin. You get water insoluble
  crystals which are then broken up by bacteria which use unease as a enzyme.
  Like this you have a retarded nitrogen fertilizer with very high efficiency
  and the plants get the nitrogen in little doses time after time. As you will
  apply the polymer below the seeds the rhizobia are not affected because they
  react only to direct water soluble nitrogen next to the seeds.The efficiency
  is so high that you can lower total nitrogen by more then 50% without
  affecting effective uptake quantity. Add a little Molasse and the bacteria
  will love to brake up the polymer. As an additional source of carbon you
  might as well add some methanol to your mixture.DCPTA enhanced plant growth
  loves additional CO2.
  Thanks Nikolaus
