Organic Potassium Formate Composition for Crop Yield and Soil Health
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional methods for improving plant growth and crop productivity are insufficient in addressing environmental pollution, soil degradation, and stress factors, and inorganic potassium salts have adverse environmental effects.
Innovation Solution
A synergistic plant growth stimulating composition combining organic potassium mono/diformate or potassium hydrogen di-salt with aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids and plant growth hormones, optionally with adjuvants, to enhance potassium delivery and stress resistance in plants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If inorganic potassium salts are used as potassium source, then plant growth stimulation is achieved, but environmental pollution and soil degradation occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical form of potassium from inorganic salts to organic potassium salts (potassium formate, potassium acetate, potassium propionate, etc.), altering the chemical parameters while maintaining potassium supply for plant growth while improving environmental compatibility
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses composite organic potassium salt formulations combined with carboxylic acids and plant growth hormones, creating a synergistic composition that enhances plant growth while being environmentally friendly, replacing single-component inorganic potassium salts
2Quantity of substance
If traditional fertilizer methods are used, then nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium nutrients are supplied, but soil quality depletes and biotic stress increases
Solution Approach 1:
The organic potassium salts and carboxylic acid combination in the composition provides nutrients while simultaneously improving soil health and plant stress resistance, allowing the system to serve both nutrient supply and soil quality maintenance functions
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes from traditional inorganic nutrient formulations to organic-based formulations that improve soil microbial activity and structure, altering the chemical parameters to benefit both nutrient delivery and soil quality
3Productivity
If inorganic potassium salts are applied, then early growth and protein production are stimulated, but adverse environmental effects occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the potassium source from inorganic to organic forms (formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, etc.), maintaining the protein production stimulation function while eliminating the adverse environmental effects associated with inorganic salts
