More particularly, the invention relates to U: an algal granular composition comprising: at least one alga, and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient, the composition having excellent dispersihility, suspensihility and llowahility. Furthermore, the invention relates to a, process of preparing the algal granular composition comprising at least one algae and at least one agrocheniically able excipient. The invention further s to a method of treating the plants, seeds, crops, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof or the soil with the algal granular composition.
BACKGROUNB OF THE lNVENTlON in describing the embodiments of the invention, specific ology is chosen for the salte of clarity. r, it is not intended that the invention he limited to the specific terms so ed and it is to he tood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.
Several agrochemical agents are being used at high dosages for long s of time as fertilizers and for countering pests and diseases These chemical agents are a constant burden on the environment as they contaminate the soil, water, turl‘, and other vegetation. in addition to countering pests and diseases, they can be toxic to a host of other organisms including hirds, fish, beneficial insects, and non—target plants. Most of the agrochernical agents secrete into soils and groundwater which can end up in drinking water also. The sprays can drift and pollute the air. Further nutrient losses are also a cause for n due to the economics, as well as due to environmental reasons.
One of the key challenges today is deteriorating soil health. Extensive use of soil fertilizers and pesticides has reduced organic and microbial matter of the soil. Plants are unable to uptake nutrients applied to the soil. Biological rnatrlals such as algae, fungi and bacteria are useful alternatives to chemical agents for improvement and/or maintenance of soil nutrients Algae are useful alternative to the chemical agents for improving the soil and plant health and also to l the pests. Few algal products have been known to he used as fertilizers and plant nutrients in order to decrese the burden on the environment as well as on the health of farmers and consumers. However, their use needs to be zed and their application needs to be ed in order to provide an ical result in terms of yield, plant growth vitality and vigor to the farmer and also reduce the burden on the nment.
Prior art. dournents talk about ii‘icorporating algae as a coat over a core granule, but these granules cannot se or suspend well and cannot be he applied ellectively in drip or sprinkler irrigation as they tend to block the nozzles and this poses a big application challenge in agriculture. Similar is the case with commercially available alga powders where they cannot be used in drip or sprinkler irrigation systems.
While microbial organisms are generally not viable under high. shear, surprisingly the inventors have determined that despite of cells being lysed (as can be seen in fig. 2), a water dispersihle granules of U! the present invention comprising at least one algae and at least one agrochernlcally acceptable excipient, with a. particle size of ill microns to 60 microns demonstrates excellent field efficacy, for e. g. in the uptake ol‘ nutrients from the soil, in the yields and growth of the crops, provides greater prophylactic control over plant pathogenic disease. The water dispersible granules of the present invention also exhibit or al characteristics such as suspensihility, dispersibility, ilowability and weitalrilty, These superior characteristics of the product results in superior field ellicacy without the need of using any chemical products such as urea. The compositions of the t invention also demonstrated superior performance under rated storage and also surprisingly he used in drip irrigation.
SUMMARY Gill THE lNVEN'l‘lON: The invention relates to granular compositions of at least one alga. More ularly, the invention relates to water sible granular composition comprising at least one alga, and agrochcmical excipients inc luding one or more of tants, hinders or disintegrant wherein the composition exhibits excellent, dispersibility, suspensibility, flowability and wettahilty. The algae comprise 0.1% to 90% by weight of the total composition. The composition includes algae and one or more of tants, binders or disintegrant in weight ratio of 991l to lzll‘) and has a particle size in the range of (11 microns to 60 s. The algae includes one or more of green algae, red algae, golden algae, brown algae, golden— brown algae, blue algae, blue—green algae or their species.
Furthermore, the invention. relates to a process of preparing the algal granular composition including at least one alga and at least one agrochetnically acceptable excipient, The invention further s to a method of treating the plants, seeds, crops, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof or the soil with the algal granular composition.
According to an embodiment, the invention can furtl'rer relate to the use of the algal granular composition as at least one of a nutrient composition, a plant strengthener composition, a soil ioner composition, plant fortification, plant protection and a yield enhancer composition.
According to an embodiment, the invention further s to a method ol‘ improving the plant health, improving the plant nutrition, l‘ortil‘ying the plant, ting the plant, ing the plant yield, strengthening the plant or ioning the soil; the method sing treating at least one of seeds, seedling, crops, a. plant, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof or to the surrounding soil with effective amount of the algal granular composition involving at least one algae and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient.
It. was also observed that the composition. exhibited good physical and chemical properties, good release properties, enhanced stability even at extended storage under higher temperatures which in turn U! results in superior field performance.
BRIEF DESCRIPTEON OF THE DRAWINGS For a more complete understanding of the invention reference should now be made to the embodiments illustrated in greater detail in the accompanying drawings and described by way of embodiments of the invention.

DESCRIPTION (ll? THE lNVEN’l‘lGN in describing the ment of the invention, specific terminology is chosen for the sake of clarity. However, it is not intended that the ion be limited to the specific terms so selected and it is to be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish a r propose.
The invention relates to an algal granular formulation including at least one alga and at least one agi‘ochemically able excipient whereby the composition exhibits improved dispersihility and suspensibility. According to an embodiment, the granular composition further exhibits improved flowahility and wettability.
As used herein the term "granular” composition includes water dispersihle granules, particles and grains. it is well known that microorganisms including bacteria fungie, algae, are not viable when subjected to high shear, and ial cells tend to get lysed when ted to shear, FIG. l. Depicts an image of pure or raw spiralina, which. shows a large number of living cells. During preparation of the water dispersible granule composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, the algae oses high shear ing in the lysis of the cell as shown in the FlGURE 2. However, despite the fact that the cells are lyserl, it is surprisingly observed that the water dispersible granule comprising the algae, according to the current invention, demonstrate ent efficacy when applied to the seeds, seedling, crops, as plant, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof or to the surrounding soil.
Surprisingly, the inventors have determined that the composition. of the water dispersible granule of the t invention displays enhanced elticacy at reduced dosage of application of the composition as U! compared to other prior art compositions of algae.
According to an embodiment, the granular ition is a, water dispersihle granular composition.
When these water dispersible granules come in contact with an aqueous medium, they disperse immediately to release the material, and remain dispersed and suspended uniformly throughout the s medium over a long period of time.
