Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current fertilizer production methods fail to provide a detailed process for manufacturing multipurpose fertilizers that balance nutrient supply, increase mineral absorption, and maintain soil moisture, especially during droughts, while also reducing environmental pollution and costs.
Innovation Solution
A process involving the mixing of manure, poultry manure, organic waste, and microorganisms, along with specific chemical components and extracts like pectin from dragon fruit peel and ylang ylang, to create a fertilizer composition with defined elemental percentages, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and other micronutrients, which is then incubated and adjusted for pH and humidity to enhance water retention and soil fertility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional NPK fertilizers are used to provide macronutrients, then nutrient supply is sufficient, but soil moisture retention during drought is inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines conventional NPK fertilizers with hydrogel particles and organic fertilizers into a single composite fertilizer product. This merging allows the fertilizer to simultaneously provide macronutrients (N, P, K) and maintain soil moisture through hydrogel's water retention capability, resolving the contradiction between nutrient supply and moisture retention
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite material consisting of three main components: inorganic NPK fertilizer, organic fertilizer, and synthetic hydrogel particles. This composite structure integrates the nutritional benefits of conventional fertilizers with the water retention properties of hydrogel, enabling both sufficient nutrient supply and reliable soil moisture retention during drought conditions
2Adaptability or versatility
If specialized multi-element fertilizers are produced for each fertilizing period, then plant nutrition is optimized, but production complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops a universal fertilizer formulation that can be applied across different fertilizing periods and crop types. The composite fertilizer containing NPK, organic matter, and hydrogel serves multiple functions simultaneously: providing macronutrients, improving soil structure, and retaining moisture. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for producing separate specialized fertilizers for each period, reducing production complexity while maintaining nutritional optimization
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional fertilizer production methods are used, then manufacturing process is simple, but environmental pollution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters of conventional fertilizers by incorporating organic fertilizers and hydrogel particles. This parameter change transforms the fertilizer from a purely inorganic, potentially polluting substance into a composite material that improves soil health, reduces nutrient leaching, and enhances water retention. The manufacturing process remains relatively simple while significantly reducing environmental pollution through improved nutrient utilization and reduced runoff
