Slow and fast release fertilizer composition and methods for making same
A homogeneous fertilizer granule comprises slow-release (e.g. struvite) and fast release sources of phosphorus (P). The homogeneous fertilizer granule may further contain other essential nutrients and micronutrients required by plants. A number of methods may be used to make such granules. One method includes introducing a struvite slurry or fines and a liquid supply of water soluble P into a granulator. Alternatively, dry raw materials can be mixed with water/steam and/or another binder prior to being fed into a granulator. In another embodiment, pre-mixed dry raw materials are mechanically compacted and crushed to yield homogeneous fertilizer particles.

SWELLABLE FERTILIZER GRANULES CONTAINING ELEMENTAL SULFUR WITH INCREASED OXIDATION RATES
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.

INTERMEDIATE-RELEASE FERTILIZERS AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME
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.

C FERTILIZER AND FEED PRODUCT
A compatible combination of micron size carbon based particles along with beneficial microbial species and conventional plant nutrients into a plant or an animal food. This balanced product is a combination of nutrients and microbes, and can be applied as a suspension in water or as a slow release granule. This combination of organic plant food and fertilizer can also be applied as a foliar, as a seed coating, and as an all-in-one granule combination of nutrients and biological agents, to facilitate mineralization, nutrient availability and provide energy to the soil and plants, with a total conversion of a storable processed biomass into a precisely known quality and quantity of usable fertilizer tea solution, with no biomass waste, odors, or crop application timing problems. The process of formulating the combination product reduces green house gas emissions by limiting mineralization and composting
