Abstract: Fertilizers that contain urea-aldehyde condensates. The fertilizer can be spherical and can be formed using a granulation and/or spheronization technique and optionally can be an extruded fertilizer that is spheronized.

Abstract: Fertilizer particles containing a core and a shell is described. The core can contain urea, a pH buffering agent, and an urease inhibitor, and the shell can contain urea and can cover at least a portion of an outer surface of the core. The core can include 20 wt. % to 80 wt. % urea, based on the total weight of the core, and the shell can include 50 wt. % to 100 wt. % urea, based on the total weight of the core.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of making a fertilizer granule. The method includes supplying a fertilizer component, an liquid component, a binder and a filler to a zoned extruder comprising a die head, a screw, and at least three zones; mixing the fertilizer component, liquid component, binder and filler to yield a thixotropic mixture; and passing the thixotropic mixture through the die head.

Abstract: A fertilizer granule containing a core containing a nitrogen containing fertilizer such as urea and a coat on the core, the coat containing an organic zinc (Zn) complex and an inorganic Zn compound, and methods of making and using the fertilizer granule.

Abstract: A fertilizer blend containing 10 wt. % to 90 wt. % of a first particulate fertilizer composition and 10 wt. % to 90 wt. % of a second particulate fertilizer composition is disclosed. In the fertilizer blend, the second particulate fertilizer composition can be blended with the first particulate fertilizer composition. The first particulate fertilizer composition can include a core containing a binder, a pH buffering agent, and an urease inhibitor, and a shell containing urea, where the shell covers at least a portion of an outer surface of the core.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fertilizer granule containing a homogeneous mixture containing i) phosphogypsum in an amount providing 6.5 wt. % to 22 wt. % of calcium (Ca) and 5 wt. % to 17.6 wt. % of sulfur (S) present in the form of sulfate, ii) 3.8 wt. % to 8 wt. % of magnesium (Mg), iii) 0.5 wt. % to 4 wt. % of zinc (Zn), iv) additional sulfate in an amount providing 5 to 12.5 wt. % of sulfur (S), and v) optionally 0.5 wt. % to 5 wt. % of a humic substance, based on the total weight of the fertilizer granule. Methods of making and using the fertilizer granule are also disclosed.

Abstract: Organic chelated zinc coated fertilizer core, methods for their use, and production thereof, are disclosed. The organic chelated zinc coating can contain 0.02 wt. % to 0.5 wt. % or more, based on the total weight of the coated fertilizer, of zinc from the organic chelated zinc. The coating can optionally contain or exclude a binder. An oil based coating can be at least partially positioned between the surface of the fertilizer core and the organic chelated zinc coating.

Abstract: Seaweed and/or seaweed extract coated fertilizer core, methods for their use, and production thereof, are disclosed. The fertilizer core, coated by the seaweed and/or seaweed coating, can contain 50 wt. % or more, based on the total weight of the core, of a urea-based fertilizer, or an inorganic fertilizer containing one or more of nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium, or a combination thereof. The coating can include a seaweed and/or seaweed extract, and optionally contain or exclude gypsum, water insoluble polymer(s) other than native water insoluble polymers present in the seaweed or extract thereof, water, solubilizing agent(s), anticaking agent(s), and/or binding agent(s).
