1. An agricultural composition comprising:
- a) a lignocellulosic syrup; and
b) at least one soil conditioning material;
wherein the syrup comprises;
a) from about 40% to about 70% solids;
b) from about 10 g/l to about 30 g/l of acetamide; and
c) at least about 40 g/l of sugars;
wherein the cellulosic syrup has a density of about 1 to about 2 g/cm3 and a viscosity of less than 500 SSU at 100°
