Description

Use of aminocarboxylates in agriculture
The present invention relates to the use of formulations comprising (A) one or more aminocarboxylates, selected from among methylglycine diacetate (MGDA) and its alkali metal salts and glutamic diacetate (GLDA) and its alkali metal salts, (B) at least one inorganic compound selected from among inorganic phosphates, inorganic phosphites, inorganic nitrates, ammonium salts and potassium salts and (C) optionally water for the application to plants, the ground or growth substrates.
The present Invention furthermore relates to formulations comprising (A) one or more aminocarboxylates, selected from among methylglycine diacetate (MGDA) and its alkali metal salts and glutamic diacetate (GLDA) and its alkali metal salts, (B) at least one inorganic compound selected from among inorganic phosphates, inorganic phosphites, inorganic nitrates, ammonium salts and potassium salts and (G) optionally water.
The present invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of formulations according to the invention. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of aqueous formulations comprising (A) one or more aminocarboxylates, selected from among methylglycine diacetate (MGDA) and its alkali metal salts and glutamic diacetate (GLDA) and its alkali metal salts, to he applied to plants or the ground or growth substrates.
It has long been attempted to improve the yields of soils in terms of fertility. By using fertilizers, in particular what are known as NPK fertilizers, it is indeed possible to improve the essential mineral content. However, it is observed that, in many cases, only fractions of the minerals supplied to the soil are indeed taken up into piants. A considerable fraction of the minerals supplied, in contrast, is not taken up but enters the groundwater, where in particular nitrates and phosphates are undesired. Excess fertilizer application, therefore, is not acceptable.
Regular fertilizing with low fertilizer concentrations is too time-consuming.
The bioavailabiiity of phosphates is a problem. Phosphate minerals which, in many cases, include phosphate in a sparingly water-soluble form will in many cases not be effective as phosphate fertilizer in nature. The use of what are known as soluble phosphates, which has already been proposed as a solution, will, in soils which comprise significant amounts of calcium or iron ions in dissolved form, result in the precipitation of sparingiy-soiubie phosphates, so that the problem of the bioavailability of phosphate cannot be considered as solved. What is known as the mineralization of soluble phosphates can take place within a period of less than two weeks, depending on the soil composition.
Advantageously, the present invention may provide formulations whose mineral fertilizer component can be taken up readily by soils or plants. The present invention may also advantageoulsy provide uses of formulations by means of which mineral fertilizers, and in particular phosphate, can be taken up readily by soils or plants. The present invention may further advantageously provide a method by means of which phosphate can be rendered readily bioavailable.
The present invention provides the uses and formulations defined at the outset.

Preferred ions are alkali-metal ions, especially preferably Na+ and K+.
In one embodiment of the present invention, compound (A) is selected from among derivatives of aminocarboxylates (A), for example from their methyl or ethyl esters.

For testing, the formulations according to the invention and the formulations not according to the invention were in each case diluted with water in the ratio 1/200, this gave fertilizer solutions according to the invention and fertilizer solutions not according to the invention. ί 1.1 Treatment of tomatoes
The primary fertilization of the soil 'was carried out using in each case 10 ml of fertiiizer solution per pot. To fertilize the tomato plants after 35 days (see hereinbelow), in each case 5 mi of the same fertiiizer solution were sprayed onto the tomato plant.
Plastics pots 5 inches in diameter were filled with medium-heavy loose-sediment brown earth from the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. The loose-sediment brown earth employed had a phosphate content (determined as P2O5) of 22 mg P205/100 g soil.
To test a fertiiizer solution, in each case 10 pots were planted; the data listed in tables 1 and 2 are in each case means of in each case 5 pots/fertiiizer solution.
Tomato seeds "Berner Rose" (Solarium lycopersicum) were planted at a depth of 2.5 cm at a rate of 3 seeds per pot. The primary fertilization with in each case 10 mi of fertilizer solution (see above) was applied at a depth of 2 cm, immediately after planting. The tomato plants were first grown for 35 days In the greenhouse under standard conditions until the beginning of anthesis.
Analysis after 35 days:
The tomato plants of in each case 5 of the 10 pots in question were cut off above the roots, washed with water and dried at 75CC over a period of 24 hours. Thereafter, they were analyzed for potassium and phosphate. The result is compiled in table 1,
Table 1: Analysis of the tomato plants after 35 days
The tomato plants of the remaining in each case 5 of the in each case 10 pots were sprayed with in each case 5 mi of the diluted fertilizer formulations and grown for a further 45 days in the greenhouse under standard conditions. After 70 days, the plants were cut off, the stiii unripe fruits were removed, and the plants were analyzed as described above. The results are compiled accordingly in table 2.

Π.2 Treatment of potatoes A waxy table potato cv. Annabeile was planted on 1.5 hectares. Planting was as recommended by the Amt fur Landwirtschaft und Forsten [Department of Agriculture and Forestry] Augsburg, ALF A - 2.1 P- Stadtbergen, 18.02.2009 (Hinweise zum Kartoffeianbau [Notes on potato planting] 2009). The planting distance was in each case 33 cm and the rows were spaced 75 cm apart, corresponding to a plant number of 41 000 plants per ha.
The soil of the field had a phosphate content (determined as P2O5) of 21 rng/100 g soli.
Plants were grown traditionally on field plot 1 using comparative formulation V-F.5. Food plot 2 was treated with formulation EF.3 according to the invention. Food plot 3 was treated with formulation EF.1 according to the invention, in other words without the addition of phosphate. V-F.6 ‘was employed in field plot 4.
The fertilization was carried out in the form of a two-step basal dressing by applying in each case in accordance with the invention and by comparison 250 kg/ha in the spring, and a further 200 kg/ha at the beginning of tuber formation (buffing up). 60 days after planting, a top dressing of in each case 250 kg/ha was applied by foliar application. Fertilization with magnesium in the form of kieserite (27% MgO) was always carried out with 45 kg of MgO/ha (basal dressing). By replenishing potassium salt, a calculated total amount of K20 of (converted) 140 kg K20 /ha was applied in total. Nitrogen fertilization is carried out with an amount of (In total) 160 kg/ha.
In addition, the plots were managed identically (planting density, chitting, pest control, disease prevention and the like, see ALF A -- 2.1 P-).
After 160 days, the plants were harvested. The results are compiled in table 3.
Phosphorus was determined using dried, powdered potatoes, the P content being back converted to the weight of the freshly harvested potatoes. To this end, 25 kg of potatoes (randomly chosen) were first shredded, dried and then powdered. The P content was determined by elemental analysis.
