## Title
Product to boost photosynthesis

## Abstract

A composition to enhance efficiency of Photosynthesis and thereby increase agriculture/horticulture yield, containing approximately 5% to 90% Melamine, approximately 10% to 80% Ortho Phosphoric acid, approximately 8% POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, approximately 8% Sodium Hydroxide, and up to approximately 30% POTASSIUM SULPHATE, with approximately 5% of 0.5% DIETHYL AMINOETHYL HEXANOTE, approximately 10% ZINC SULPHATE MONOHYDRATE, approximately 8% to 15% Octoborate with IGSURF 6000, and approximately 5% to 10% wetting agent to get a product for boosting Photosynthesis in liquid, soluble powder, and/or granule form.

## Background
FIELD OF INVENTION
Although Photosynthesis has interested mankind of eons, rapid progress in understanding the Process has come in the last few years. It is observed Photosynthesis is relatively inefficient. In a typical growing season only 1 to 2% of the solar energy falling on the field is recovered as new Photosynthetic products. This invention is directed to increase the efficiency of Photosynthesis to increase yield. One attempt is “Foliar” application as disclosed by this invention.
Wherein the product as brought out by the invention when sprayed is absorbed in plant foliage, stem and all parts in just about 4 hours.
It is well known in the prior art that dissolving “Melamine” with principle ingredients Synonyms—Triazine, Cyanuramide, Cyanuric Triamide, Cyanurotriamide, Cyanurotiamine etc is impossible. In the present invention Melamine containing Heterocyclic Nitrogen is combined with phosphorous which is adequately enriched with Potassium Sulphate, Octoborate, Mono Zinc Sulphate with Diethyl Aminoethyl Hexanote to enhance Photosynthesis by 1.5% to 2%. Thus the present invention results in increased meristem activity increased Photosynthesis and increased yield. In this reaction Diethyl Aminoethyl Hexanote exerts synergism in this composition. This present invention would increase yield up to 15% to 20%.
BACKGROUND ART
To increase the yield in agriculture/horticulture is engaging our attention. The population increase in the world is threatening mankind and thereby the inadequate food security because of dwindling world food stock. Rightly the area Photosynthesis attracted attention worldwide because Photosynthesis is fulcrum for Life on this Earth. A molecule with 66% Heterocyclic Nitrogen in a peculiar molecular configuration i.e 3N outside and 3N imbedded. It is practically insoluble in anything and used mainly as plastizizers, as melamine crockeries and resins.
The invention brings out a process of dissolving Melamine with Ortho Phosphoric Acid together with Diethyl Aminoethyl Hexanote, Zinc Sulphate Mono Hydrate, Octo Borate, Potassium Hydroxide or Potassium Sulphate and carboxyl methyl cellulose and IGSURF 6000 emulsifier. The resultant product increases Photosynthesis by 1.5% to 2% and yield up to 15% to 20%.
The application of Melamine to increase Photosynthesis is not known in the prior art. The invention brings out a liquid, soluble powder and granule form of product.
The process brought by the invention takes into account “Fixation” and soil solubility and avoids fixation, wastage, drain off etc. and brings out a method to use all ingredients judiciously reducing dependence on bulk soil application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The backgrounds need, parameters required are carefully codified and the invention proceeded.
Heterocyclic Nitrogen 8.5% to get from 15% Melamine, to get 8.5% as P205 from ORTHO PHOSPHORIC ACID 16% and to get 5% as POTASSIUM OXIDE from 8% POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE taken Sodium Hydroxide 8% to neutralize. Orthophosphoric acid gave 8.5% as P205 in addition to dissolving Melamine. This soluble liquid is a viscous dull white liquid and at 0.1% to 0.2% concentration sprayed as “Foliar” does the miracle by enhancing Photosynthesis by 1.5% to 2% and increasing flowering, yield, and quality.
The preparation is made by taking Melamine 15% and 16% ORTHO PHOSPHORIC ACID is added slowly, stirring. Since reaction is slow it will take 5 to 6 hours to complete. Then add POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE 8% cautiously and since the reaction is violent and emitting Hydrogen etc it has to be performed carefully. After the reaction is completed i.e. after 3 or 4 hours adding Sodium Hydroxide at 8% (quantity till neutral PH 7 is obtained) and this reaction is more violent than (POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE reaction) and care should be taken. After everything is over adding 44.5% De-Mineralized water finally adding 0.5% DIETHYL AMINOETHYL HEXANOTE the product is complete after 8% Emulsifier—IGSURF-6000 is added and stirred vigorously.
In another preparation one mole of Melamine and one mole of ORTHO PHOSPHORIC ACID are added and thoroughly mixed to get Melamine Phosphate. Any quantity can be made but this proportion followed. Completely centrifuged and powder taken as C3H9N6PO4 (Melamine Phosphate). Melamine Phosphate—50%, POTASSIUM SULPHATE—30%, ZINC SULPHATE MONO HYDRATE—5%, wetting agent—5%, Octoborate—9.5% and DIETHYL AMINOETHYL HEXANOTE—0.5% all added and machine mixed in ball mill and blended.
77.5% roasted or unroasted bentonite clay granule is charged in the drum mixer with calcium silicate 2% of the automatic granulating machine. Rosin 2.5 to 3% is provided in the Rosin Recepticle, once the machine is on rosin will melt and uniformly coat the granule. In the spray chamber 10% Melamine Phosphate, 5% Zinc Sulphate Mono Hydrate, 2% Octoborate, 0.5% DIETHYL AMINOETHYL HEXANOTE are added after dissolving in water and with wetting agent (Quantum Sufficientum). When the machine is on with suitable nozzle the composition is sprayed at 50 kg/pressure per sq.cm. After all is over the drum is rotated for 15 minutes and the granule is released.
In another preparation 30% to 40% Melamine, 10% Mono Ammonium Phosphate, 10% Potassium Sulphate or Potassium Chloride, 10 to 20% Soluble Boron, 7% Wetting and Dispensing Agent, 13% Sea Weed Extract or Humic Acid, 5% Zinc Sulphate mono Hydrate and 5% Anhydrous Magnesium Sulphate are blended to obtain homogenous flowable powder.
In yet another preparation 30% Melamine, 30% Humic Acid, 10% Clay, 5% Precipitated Silica, 5% Wetting and Dispensing Agent, 15% Potassium Chloride, and 5% Rock Phosphate are individually grinded and mechanically blended to get homogenized sand and clay carrying complex suitable for soil application in various crops.
In yet another preparation 15% Melamine, 15% Precipitated Silica, 25% Humic Acid, 10% Potassium Chloride, 20% Octoborate, 8% Sulphur or Ammonium Sulphate, 5% Water dispersible and Wetting Agent, 1% Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid and 1% Naphthyl Acetic Acid are grinded and added with Precipitated Silica and blended to obtain homogenous product suitable for oil palms.
The foregoing objects of the present invention are illustrated in the following examples.

Melamine 15% is taken in a glass or heat tolerable and acid resistant container. Then 16% ORTHO PHOSPHORIC ACID slowly added simultaneously stirring. Care should be taken since heat will evolve. Reaction will take 6 to 7 hours to dissolve and then 8% POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE is added very slowly. Enormous heat will evolve and gas will also escape (Hydrogen & Oxygen). This reaction will take 5 to 6 hours. After that 8% Sodium Hydroxide is added and will produce violent reaction, noise, gas etc and the reaction will take 4 hours. After that PH is tested and it should be 6.5 to 7 PH. Accordingly Sodium Hydroxide quantity is decided (Approx—8%)
Then finally 0.5% DIETHYL AMINOETHYL HEXANOTE is added and 44.5% water is added along with special emulsifier 8% IGSURF—6000. Now 100% soluble liquid is ready.
