Non-renewable nature of rock phosphate (RP) reserves coupled with low use efficiency of applied phosphorus(P) fertilizers in the soil system results in irreversible loss of huge quantity of P to the environment. The tech-nology of controlled release fertilizers which harmonizes crop demand and release of P from fertilizers arepromising to prevent the loss as well as improve the P use efficiency. This article aimed to synthesize and assesssome polymer coated novel controlled release rock phosphate formulations to synchronize P release with cropdemand and increasing P recovery by wheat. Polymer coated novel products were synthesized by partiallyacidulating RP with sulphuric and phosphoric acids followed by coating with polyvinyl alcohol and liquidparaffin @ 2 and 3% levels of coating. These products were characterized through X-ray diffraction, fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron micro-scopy (TEM). Phosphorus release pattern from novel coated fertilizers were monitored under controlled con-ditions in a laboratory incubation experiment at different moisture and temperature regimes. The products werealso evaluated for their P supplying capacity to wheat in a greenhouse experiment. Results emanated fromincubation study in a P-deficient Typic Haplustept revealed higher release of P at 20% moisture regime and 30oCtemperature. Phosphoric acid based coated products produced greater biomass yield than commercial dia-mmonium phosphate and sulphuric acid formulated products. Product coated with polyvinyl alcohol @ 2%coating released P gradually that synchronized well with the plant P demand and resulted in greater biomassyield, P uptake and recovery by wheat than that of liquid paraffin and 3% level of coating. It can be concludedthat novel technology of controlled release RP formulations using different coating agents could be exploitedcommercially as the alternative to water soluble P-fertilizers for enhancing P use efficiency.
