Precursor coatings for sulfur coated controlled release fertilizers

A controlled release sulfur coated fertilizer with improved abrasion resistance is produced by applying a precursor coating that forms a cohesive film which adheres to the fertilizer substrate particles and to the sulfur that is subsequently applied in molten form. The improved fertilizer also optio...
