Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for amending the availability of phosphate and other nutrient supplies in soil, especially acidic sandy soils, while ensuring reduced leaching and/or surface runoff of phosphorous and other nutrients. Compositions of the invention comprise granulated dolomite phosphate rock in combination with organic materials, wherein the level and rate of phosphorous and other nutrients released from the composition is controlled. Use of the compositions of the invention increases the availability of phosphorous and other nutrients while eliminating soil acidity, and also stimulates plant growth, enhances plant vigor, and/or improves crop yield.
