Abstract

Obtaining sustainable crop yields requires extensive use of mineral fertilizers, which can have a negative impact on the environment due to significant nitrogen losses. Therefore, work to increase the agrochemical value of traditional mineral fertilizers is becoming relevant. Our studies have shown the possibility of applying a phosphate-containing shell on urea granules by agglomeration to obtain encapsulated fertilizer. The composition of phosphate-containing coating based on phosphate-glauconite concentrate and potassium and calcium humates has been developed. The physicochemical composition of the encapsulated organo-mineral fertilizer was determined, and the main characteristics of the phosphate-containing coating were studied by scanning electron microscopy with elemental microanalysis. It is shown that the phosphate-containing shell has a developed nanoporous structure along the entire thickness of the coating. The possibility of controlling the process of nanoporous layer formation by improving the encapsulation technology has been confirmed.
