1 .- 25 . (canceled) 26 . A composition comprising: (a) a treated glycerin composition, wherein the treated glycerin composition is treated by adding a carboxylic acid to a glycerin composition comprising glycerin obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats or a mixture thereof, and (b) a nitrogen source. 27 . The composition of claim 26 , wherein the carboxylic acid is a member selected from acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid or a combination thereof. 28 . The composition of claim 26 , wherein the nitrogen source is an organic nitrogen source. 29 . The composition of claim 28 , wherein the organic nitrogen source is selected from urea, casein, manure, hay, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, blood meal, cottonseed meal, crab meal, fish meal, feather meal or mixtures thereof. 30 . The composition of claim 26 , further comprising an assimilable source of phosphorus. 31 . A composition comprising: (a) a treated glycerin composition, wherein the treated glycerin composition is treated by adding a carboxylic acid to a glycerin composition comprising glycerin obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats or a mixture thereof, (b) an organic nitrogen source, and (c) an assimilable source of phosphorus. 32 . The composition of claim 31 , wherein the organic nitrogen source is selected from urea, casein, manure, hay, alfalfa meal, soybean meal, blood meal, cottonseed meal, crab meal, fish meal, feather meal or mixtures thereof. 33 . A method for enhancing plant growth, the method comprising applying to soil a composition comprising: (a) a treated glycerin composition, wherein the treated glycerin composition is treated by adding a carboxylic acid to a glycerin composition comprising glycerin obtained from vegetable oils or animal fats or a mixture thereof, (b) an organic nitrogen source, and (c) an assimilable source of phosphorus.
