Abstract:
Fertilizer granules containing elemental sulfur and a hydrogel which expands or swells in the soil to more readily disperse the elemental sulfur surface throughout the soil, which increases the elemental sulfur surface area available for oxidation, and ultimately uptake of sulfur by the plant. The elemental sulfur and hydrogel can be added to a fertilizer composition as either an exterior coating or co-granulated with the base fertilizer composition.

Claim (Index 1):
A swellable sulfur-containing fertilizer granule comprising:\n a base fertilizer composition comprising a phosphate composition; a source of elemental sulfur in an amount of from about 0.1 weight percent to about 20 weight percent; and a hydrogel, wherein the granule is configured to swell upon introduction to a soil environment to disperse the source of elemental sulfur within the soil environment.
