A fertilizer comprises an intermediate-release source of phosphorus. The intermediate-source of phosphorus may be schertelite. In one embodiment, the intermediate-source of phosphorus may consist substantially all of the phosphorous content in the fertilizer. In other embodiments, the fertilizer further comprises one or both of a slow-release and fast-release source of phosphorus. The fertilizer may be in the form of a homogenous prill. A number of methods may be used to make such fertilizers.

The present invention relates to novel phosphate solubilizing strains as well as compositions and methods thereof for increasing the availability of phosphate for plants.

A method for integrally preparing urea-formaldehyde (UF)-based multi-nutrient biodegradable polymeric slow-release (SR) liquid and granular fertilizers is provided. A hydroxymethylurea solution is prepared, and a part of the hydroxymethylurea solution is added to a reactor for reaction to obtain the UF-based multi-nutrient biodegradable polymeric SR liquid fertilizer. The rest of the hydroxymethylurea solution is fed into a reaction-extrusion integrated machine for reactive extrusion to obtain a UF polymer through the polycondensation reaction, which is extruded, dried and granulated to obtain the UF-based multi-nutrient biodegradable polymeric SR granular fertilizer. A method for applying such liquid and granular fertilizers is also provided.

A method can include: introducing sulfur dioxide in an anolyte flow path of an electrolyzer; optionally, introducing water in the catholyte flow path of the electrolyzer; operating the electrolyzer; optionally: processing the products; and optionally: using the products. In some variants of the method, the amount of water introduced can be balanced such as to achieve a target sulfuric acid concentration.
