Abstract

Disclosed are compositions comprising chitosan, glucosamine and amino acids, where the concentration of chitosan is greater than 1.5 wt % and glucosamine is greater than 1.5 wt %. In preferred embodiments the concentration of chitosan is from 2 to 2.5 wt % and glucosamine is 2 to 6 wt %. The composition can also include solid chitin. The composition can also include trace elements, protein and other polysaccharides. The composition is generally a liquid but may be a solid. In most embodiments, the solid can be reconstituted with water prior to use. In preferred embodiments, the composition comprises HYTd and at least one of, HYTa, HYTb and HYTc. In other embodiments the composition comprises HYTd and two or more of, HYTa, HYTb and HYTc. The composition can also comprise HYTd, HYTa, HYTb and HYTc. In the disclosed processes soil, seed, seedling or plant foliage are contacted with HYTd or any of the above compositions.

Claims

1. A process comprising contacting soil, seed, seedling or plant foliage with HYTd, wherein said HYTd comprises the liquid fraction obtained from the fermentation of HYTb and HYTc with the microbes in HQE (ATCC Patent Deposit designation PTA-10861), wherein said HYTb comprises the liquid fraction obtained from the fermentation of chitin-containing Arthropods with HQE and said HYTc comprises the solid fraction obtained from the fermentation of chitin-containing Arthropods with HQE.

2. The process of claim 1 further comprising contacting soil, seed, seedling or plant foliage with at least one of HYTa, HYTb and HYTc, wherein HYTa comprises the microbes in ATCC Patent Deposit designation PTA-10973.

3. The process of claim 2 where one or more of HYTa, HYTb, HYTc and HYTd are used at different times.

4. The process of claim 1 further comprising contacting soil, seed, seedling or plant foliage with two or more of HYTa, HYTb and HYTc, wherein HYTa comprises the microbes in ATCC Patent Deposit designation PTA-10973.

5. The process of claim 1 further comprising contacting soil, seed, seedling or plant foliage with HYTa, HYTb and HYTc, wherein HYTa comprises the microbes in ATCC Patent Deposit designation PTA-10973.
