Patent ID: 8491692

Claim:
A plurality of water-dispersible particles comprising: an organic origin potash present in an amount ranging from 5% to 99% by weight of the total dry weight of the plurality of particles and having a mean aggregate size of less than 250 micrometers; and a binder component, present in an amount ranging from 1% to 95% by weight of the total dry weight of the plurality of particles, the particles having a mean particle domain size; the organic origin potash and the binder component present in a form such that contact with water causes particle dispersion into more than 100 pieces wherein the particle dispersion occurs within one hour of water contact; wherein the organic origin potash is selected from a first group consisting of kali vinesse, seaweed, cellulosic products, and ashes formed from said first group; and wherein the binder component is selected from a second group consisting of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, synthetic organic polymers, glycolipids, glycoproteins, lipoproteins, lignins, a lignin derivative, a carbohydrate-based composition, and combinations thereof.
