Soil dispersible and water dispersible granular nutrients for use in fertilizers or animal feeds include granules having a crystallized saccharide binder with carboxylates (sucrates) of a nutrient embedded therein, A method of preparing the nutrients containing granules is provided, A reducible nutrient compound is converted to a nutrient carboxylate (sucrate) by reacting the reducible nutrient with a sprayed stream of a stoichiometric excess of reducing saccharides (sugar cane molasses) containing at least 76% by weight solids at a temperature of 160.degree. to 175.degree. F.

Carboxylate nutrients and methods for their production and use

Soil dispersible and water dispersible granular nutrients for use in a method of controlling soil pests include granules having a crystallized saccharide binder with a magnesium carboxylate of a nutrient embedded therein. Preferably magnesium carboxylate is applied to soil in a saccharide binder at the rate of about from 100 to 200 lbs. per acre to control soil pests such as nematodes and insects.

Method of controlling soil pests

A lift mount assembly is provided for a plow blade unit mounted on the front of a vehicle having longitudinally extending frame members and a laterally extending bumper at the front ends of the frame members. The assembly includes a supporting portion comprised of mounting plates attached to the front ends of the frame members behind the bumper, and laterally extending upper and lower tubular cross members between the mounting plates. The supporting portion further includes a pair of lift arm mounting members on the upper cross member extending to a point just above the bumper, and a bracket on the lower cross member providing a forwardly open socket just below the bumper. The lift mount assembly also includes a lift arm unit comprising a lift arm pivotally interconnected with the lift arm mounting members and extending forwardly over and closely adjacent the bumper, a lift cylinder support arm received in the socket and extending forwardly beneath and closely adjacent the bumper, and a generally vertically extending lift cylinder between the support arm and lift arm and closely adjacent the front of the vehicle bumper. The lift arm unit is adapted to be quickly removed from or attached to the supporting portion by means of quick hitch-type pin connections between the lift arm and lift arm mounting members and between the support arm and bracket.
