Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[1] The present invention discloses a bio stimulant and a process of preparing a bio stimulant.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[2] Bio stimulants are products that reduce the need for fertilizers and increase plant growth, resistance to water, biotic and abiotic stresses. In small concentrations, these substances are efficient, favouring the good performance of the plant’s vital processes, and allowing high yields and good quality products. In addition, bio stimulants applied to plants enhance nutrition use efficiency, plant quality traits, regardless of its nutrient contents.
[3] Unlike traditional fertilisers or pesticides, bio stimulants are not a plant growth regulator. In this perspective, using bio stimulants is seen as a cutting-edge, environmentally responsible sustainable agricultural technique. As of right now, bio stimulant products have a major impact on the worldwide farming sector and are expected to continue to grow in the years to come. Recent discoveries state that minerals such as zinc, boron, molybdenum, manganese, copper, cobalt, magnesium, or calcium, are needed nutrients that combine with bio stimulants.
[4] In many crops, particularly but not exclusively horticulture, the use of bio stimulants may lessen the need for chemical fertiliser application since they provide away to improve crop nutrition. Plant bio stimulants are widely used in a variety of cropping systems, including integrated and conventional crop production, although they were originally developed for organic farming. Commercial protein-based bio stimulants are primarily derived from naturally occurring vegetable plant sources, although they can also be made with animal proteins if desired functionalities are desired (e.g. enhancing plant biotic/abiotic tolerances).
[5] In addition to foliar fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients, the recently developed patents RO 103652, RO 95689, RO 116080, RO 116081, RO 116189, US 5302180, and US 7198805 also combine several natural or synthetic organic substances, such as plant extracts, protein hydrolysates or glycoproteins, naphthanates, polycarboxylic acids, and humic substances, to promote nutrient metabolism and aid in the adsorption and penetration by leaves of the nutritional species. According to this, the liquid complex fertiliser compositions described in patents RO 127192 and RO 127894 contain organic materials and disodium salt of EDTA along with humic substances containing total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like iron, zinc, copper, manganese, boron and magnesium.
[6] Bio stimulants are used to treat crops because of their capacity to boost photosynthetic rate, reduce growth rates, raise stress tolerances, and increase disease resistance. There's still a need for better solutions that can meet a range of applications, even with the abundance of commercially available plant bio stimulants and fertilisers. Plant bio stimulants, which increase a plant's tolerance to stresses, are especially needed in the turf grass, horticulture, and agriculture industries. A few examples of stresses including salinity, heat, alkalinity, drought, and excess moisture. Additionally, there is a need for plant bio stimulants that work better when used less frequently than currently available commercial solutions. Moreover, plant biostimulants that provide a reduced risk of plant damage are necessary in the case of overapplication. Reducing fertiliser leaching into the environment also required parameter for improving food crops' nutrient usage efficiency. In addition to improving plant tolerance to a variety of abiotic stresses, the use of natural plant bio stimulants to boost flowering, plant growth, fruit set, crop output, and efficient nutrient utilisation is a promising and environmentally beneficial innovation.
[7] Accordingly, it is a technical challenge to provide a bio stimulant that increase a plant’s reaction to stresses and that has a lower risk of plant harm

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[10] This disclosure is related to the field of chemical bio stimulants, which are substances used in agriculture to encourage plant growth. The disclosure specifically pertains to the combination of organic nitrogenous chemicals on interaction with multifunctional organic acids employed as a biostimulant to promote plant growth development. A crucial factor in determining a plant's early growth and good development in the first few weeks is the root system's quickest rate of nutrient uptake. Enhancing plant development is made possible by biostimulants, which either supply nutrients derived from natural sources or facilitate plant uptake of these nutrients.
[11] The terms "bio stimulating" or "bio stimulant" describes the capacity of the compositions to promote the healthy growth of a certain plant, bacterium, or other living microorganism. The disclosed bio stimulants help plants to grow better by increasing the nutrient use efficiencies and activating the plant bio-enzymatic system to boost the plant growth as well as biotic/abiotic stress tolerances.
[12] Typically, bio stimulants boost the efficiency of plant metabolism, which results in a higher yield and higher quality of crop. They also encourage plant growth and development throughout the whole life cycle of the crop, from seed germination to plant maturity. In further, the plants' capacity to withstand and bounce back from abiotic challenges is improved. In further, the biostimulant formulation mainly helps the plant to improve their nutrient use efficiencies and biological metabolisms. The bio stimulant disclosed herewith enhances the sugar content, protein content, chlorophyll content, colour, flower and fruit size of agricultural products. They also control and enhance plants' water content. Eventually, these biostimulants improve a few of the soil's physicochemical characteristics particularly encourage the growth of microorganisms as well as maintaining the soil pH of the field.
[13] In fact, by demonstrating the stimulating effect of a formulation of the disclosed biostimulants, a combination of organic nitrogenous chemicals compounds with bulkier high carbon-containing multifunctional acid on plant development is disclosed. A composition comprising at least one multifunctional organic acid that is connected with an organic nitrogenous component is disclosed. The disclosed biostimulants improves primary and secondary photosynthesis by use of mixture of synthetic and natural multifunctional organic acid molecules that coordinates with organic nitrogenous substances.
[14] The feedstocks for the disclosed biostimulants include extracts from leaves, roots, or seeds, either alone or in combination with other materials. Plant growth-promoting bioactive substances such as phytohormones, amino acids, and minerals are primarily responsible for the beneficial impact on horticulture production. Particularly, the disclosed biostimulant enhances tolerance of abiotic and biotic stresses, plant growth and yield, nutrient usage efficiency, and quality attributes of the crop and product (at harvest and beyond).
[15] The synthesis of a bio stimulant comprises a combination of bulky, highly carbonised, multi-functionalized organic acid and nitrogenous compounds. The bio stimulants have improved the rate of fertiliser usage while stimulating the growth of plant roots, thus maximising the goal of volume increase.
[16] The combination of multi bulkier carbogenous organic acids interacting or bonded with active nitrogenous chemical compounds, is synergistic and desired for crop growth and development. In order to address the needs of crops, this type of bio stimulant provides efficient utilization of nutrients by offering a multi-nutritive solution that improves crop uptake in a single application.
[17] Additionally covered by the invention is a method of treating plants, seeds, crops, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof, or soil with an agricultural composition that includes a minimum of one organic multifunctional acid and its polymers derivatives or mixtures with the combination of an effective amount of nitrogenous compounds and at least one excipient that is acceptable in terms of agrochemistry.

[19] The composition's organic nitrogenous substance and organic multifunctional acid serve as fertilizers as well as aid in lowering the pH of the soil and promoting improved absorption of other nutrients and amino acids. The synergistic effects of adding nitrogenous compound and organic multifunctional acid, as well as their polymers, salts, derivatives, or mixtures thereof, to water-dispersible granules, water soluble liquid, powder, granules or liquid suspensions with particle sizes ranging from 0.01 to 20 microns, demonstrated superior field efficacy in terms of crop growth and development.
