Layered fertilizer composition

1. A fertilizer composition comprising an inorganic fertilizer particle, a first layer disposed on the inorganic fertilizer particle and a calcium reactive second layer disposed on the first layer wherein the first layer comprises biomaterial and the second layer comprises one or more of phosphoric acid, ammonium polyphosphate, ammonium phosphate, or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to react with calcium in a soil.

2. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic fertilizer particle comprises ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate-nitrate, calcium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium phosphate, mono- and di-ammonium phosphate, polyphosphate, triple super phosphate, potassium nitrate, potassium chloride and potassium sulfate, or a combination thereof.

3. The fertilizer composition of claim 2 , wherein the inorganic fertilizer particle further comprises iron, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium or a combination thereof.

4. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 wherein the inorganic fertilizer particle has an average particle size of 1.0 to 4.0 millimeters (mm).

5. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the fertilizer composition comprises a plurality inorganic fertilizer particles, wherein at least 90% by weight of the plurality of inorganic fertilizer particles have a particle size of 2.0 to 4.0 mm.

6. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the biomaterial is derived from animal waste.

7. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 wherein the biomaterial comprises animal excreta.

8. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the first layer further comprises one or more additives selected from the group consisting of a polymer, a compatibilizing agent, a resin, an extender, a modifier, a filler, and combinations thereof.

9. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the first layer covers 90 to 100% of the surface area of the inorganic fertilizer particle.

10. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the first layer has a thickness of 20 to 70 micrometers.

11. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the second layer covers 90 to 100% of the surface area of the particle having a first layer.

12. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the second layer has a thickness of 20 to 70 micrometers.

13. The fertilizer composition of claim 1 , wherein the fertilizer composition has moisture content of less than 1.0%.

14. The fertilizer composition of claim 7 , wherein the excreta is manure.

15. The fertilizer composition of claim 8 , wherein the first layer comprises up to 25 wt. % of the one or more additives.

16. A method of making a fertilizer composition comprising coating an inorganic fertilizer particle with biomaterial coating composition to form a coated particle having a first layer and coating the coated particle having a first layer with a phosphate coating composition to form a coated particle having a first layer and a calcium reactive second layer, wherein the phosphate coating composition comprises one or more of phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate, or a combination thereof, and wherein the calcium reactive second layer comprises one or more of phosphoric acid, ammonium polyphosphate, ammonium phosphate, or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to react with calcium in a soil.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the biomaterial coating composition has a solids content of 35 to 85%.

18. The method of claim 16 wherein the coated particle having a first layer has a moisture content of less than 2.5% by weight.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the phosphate coating composition has a concentration of 1.40-1.68 grams per milliliter of phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate, ammonium polyphosphate, or a combination thereof.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein the coated particle having a first layer and a second layer has a moisture content less than 1.0%.
