A composition for use in applying an alkaline earth metal element to an acidic sub soil. The composition includes the element in the form of a water-soluble salt or complex with fulvic acid in an aqueous medium. The fulvic acid is preferably a coal-derived fulvic acid.

Sensors for motor vehicles emit a base signal when the variable which they measure takes on a base value. For example, a road-speed transducer supplies no pulses when either the vehicle is at standstill or when the sensor is defective. A method for providing a reliable operation of a motor vehicle includes the step of starting a substitute/emergency-function immediately when only the base signal i...
