Granulated Fertilizer Biological Additive Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current granulated organomineral fertilizers face issues with uneven distribution in the field due to different component densities and require additional steps and costs for adding biological additives post-granulation, such as coating or spraying.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating biological additives during the granulation process alongside organic matter and minerals, eliminating the need for subsequent steps like coating or spraying, thereby simplifying the production process and reducing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biological additives are added post-granulation through coating or spraying, then the fertilizer contains biological additives, but the production process becomes more complex and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The biological additives are incorporated during the granulation process itself, before the fertilizer is formed into granules. This preliminary action eliminates the need for subsequent coating or spraying steps, thereby simplifying the production process while ensuring reliable biological additive incorporation.
Solution Approach 2:
The biological additive incorporation step is merged with the granulation process. By combining these two operations into a single step, the patent eliminates separate coating or spraying operations, reducing process complexity and production costs while maintaining effective biological additive inclusion.
2Quantity of substance
If granulated organomineral fertilizer is used, then nutrients are provided, but uneven distribution occurs in the field due to different component densities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent addresses density variations by incorporating biological additives during granulation, which can modify the physical properties of the granules. This local modification helps uniformize the distribution characteristics of the fertilizer in the field, ensuring even spread despite varying component densities.
3Reliability
If additional steps like coating or spraying are added, then biological additives are incorporated, but production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
By performing the biological additive incorporation during the granulation process itself, the patent eliminates the need for subsequent coating or spraying steps. This preliminary action reduces production costs by avoiding additional materials and operations while ensuring reliable biological additive incorporation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the biological additive incorporation with the granulation process, eliminating separate coating or spraying operations. This consolidation reduces production costs by reducing the number of operations, materials required, and overall manufacturing complexity.

AI summary
A granulated organic and organomineral fertilizer supplemented with biological additive and process for the production of granulated organic and organomineral fertilizer supplemented with biological additive is physically presented in the form of granules (G), having its formulation defined by the combination of organic and mineral matter (N,P,K), to which it is added, in addition, a bioburden in the form of bacteria, fungus and yeast that are selected to crops of interest, whether grasses, legumes, monocotyledons and dicotyledons, the granules (G) receive the bioburden at the time of its granulation; the selection of bioburden to be included in granules (G) is established according to the soil and crop analysis to be cultivated.
