Fertilizer compositions for plant production are described, comprised of decontaminated manure and Bacillus spores, preferably a humic acid derived from lignite and, optionally, one or more of N compounds, P compounds, K compounds, and combinations of two or more of these compounds. Preferred compo
Fertilizer compositions for plant production are described, comprised of decontaminated manure and Bacillus spores, preferably a humic acid derived from lignite and, optionally, one or more of N compounds, P compounds, K compounds, and combinations of two or more of these compounds. Preferred compositions are those wherein the ingredients are blended into an admixture resulting in a granular product. Other preferred compositions are those blended into an admixture resulting in a powdered product. Preferably, the ingredients are formed into hardened prills or pellets. Processes for production and use are also presented.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of making a fertilizer composition comprising decontaminated manure and Bacillus spores, the method comprising the steps of: a) treating raw manure to form a substantially decontaminated manure by a process selected from: 1) composting the raw manure in a composting process to make a partially decontaminated raw manure, and solar drying the partially decontaminated raw manure in a solar drying process to make the substantially decontaminated manure; 2) reacting the raw manure with concentrated mineral acid to make the partially decontaminated manure, and subsequently drying the partially decontaminated manure in a drying process to form the substantially decontaminated manure; 3) reacting the raw manure with a hypochlorite compound to make the partially decontaminated manure, and subsequently drying the partially decontaminated manure in a drying process to form the substantially decontaminated manure; and 4) combinations of these; and b) combining the substantially decontaminated manure with a second composition comprising Bacillus spores to produce the fertilizer composition. 2. The method of claim 1 comprising a step (c) of forming the fertilizer composition into prills or pellets, and adding humic acid as a hardening agent, either in the second composition of step (b), or added during said step (c). 3. The method of claim 2 wherein the humic acid is selected from the group consisting of leonardite and potassium humate. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the hypochlorite compound is selected from the group consisting of calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, and mixtures thereof. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the hypochlorite compound is added at about 0.5 to about 3.0 percent by weight of dry ingredients. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the second composition comprising Bacillus spores is prepared as a water suspension prior to step (b). 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the mineral acid is selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and combinations and mixtures thereof. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the mineral acid is added in sufficient quantity to reduce pH of the partially decontaminated manure below 3.0. 9. The method of claim 1 where the pit composting process runs for a period of time ranging from about 2 to about 3 years. 10. A process according to claim 1 where the solar drying process runs for a period of time long enough to render a moisture content of the substantially decontaminated manure below 20 percent. 11. A process according to claim 1 where the drying process of step (a)(2) is run for a time period long enough to render a moisture content of the substantially decontaminated manure below 20 percent. 12. A method of increasing the yield of a plant while reducing the nitrogen effect, the method comprising the steps of: a) supplying to a rhizosphere of a plant a sufficient amount of a fertilizer composition comprising decontaminated manure and Bacillus spores to increase yield without significantly increasing the nitrogen effect; and b) maintaining contact between the rhizosphere of the plant and the composition for a time sufficient to enhance yield of the plant while reducing nitrogen effect. 13. A method of making a prilled or pelleted fertilizer product, the method comprising the steps of: a) producing a substantially decontaminated manure; b) combining the substantially decontaminated manure of step (a) with a second composition comprising Bacillus spores to produce a fertilizer composition; c) adding humic acid from an external source to the fertilizer composition to form a modified fertilizer composition; and d) forming a prilled or pelleted product, under conditions of temperature and pressure suitable to produce the product. 14. A method of increasing concentration of beneficial non-bacillusorganisms in a rhizosphere, the method comprising applying an effective amount of a fertilizer composition comprising decontaminated manure and Bacillusspores to a rhizosphere for a time sufficient to increase concentration of non-bacillusbeneficial organisms in the rhizosphere, the non-bacillus beneficial organisms selected from the group consisting of actinomycetes and nitrogen fixing bacteria. 15. An integrated method for producing a solid fertilizer and a hydrocarbon, the method comprising the steps of: a) producing a hydrocarbon composition from a source of hydrocarbon and using at least a portion of the hydrocarbon composition as fuel to heat by direct or indirect contact an air stream to create heated air, b) contacting directly or indirectly a partially decontaminated raw manure composition with a first portion of the heated air to form a substantially decontaminated manure composition; c) combining the substantially decontaminated manure composition with an aqueous composition comprising bacillus spores to form a wet fertilizer composition; and d) contacting directly or indirectly the wet fertilizer composition with a second portion of the heated air to form a solid fertilizer composition.
