| 20220295694 | Foliar Spraying With Water Infused With Ammonia - Plants use nitrogen as one of the essential elements required in their metabolism. Although the atmosphere is composed predominantly of molecular nitrogen, plants cannot break these nitrogen molecules into the elemental nitrogen required by the plants.

Nitrogen can also be introduced to the plants artificially, using natural or artificial fertilizer or even by direct injection of nitrogen into the soil. In all these cases, nitrogen is delivered to the plant via its roots. The present invention delivers instead ammonia to the leaves of the plants through foliar spraying by infusing water used in foliar spraying with ammonia. This is more efficient than delivery through roots of the plant, and greatly reduces the problem of fertilizer run-off. | 2022-09-22 |
