A free-flowing granular fertilizer composition and a process for its preparation in which the granules comprise expanded, substantially oil-free coffee grounds as a carrier coated and impregnated with a urea-formaldehyde condensation product. The condensation product has from 1 to 3 moles of urea for each mole of formaldehyde and the composition has at least 15% of the total nitrogen in cold water insoluble form.

Urea-formaldehyde granular fertilizer

A controlled release particulate fertilizer composition containing nitrogen in a form which is slowly released and a water soluble solid additive, such as a phosphorus or potassium nutrient salt, in a form which is quickly released comprising a core of a water soluble nitrogen nutrient source, a coating of sulfur surrounding the core, and a coating surrounding the sulfur coating of an inert water-insoluble material such as wax. The inert coating comprises an inner portion of the inert coating alone and an outer portion containing the salt or other water soluble additive.
