The invention provides a
coating method and application of a
hydroxy fatty acid-containing compound
fertilizer. Comprising the following steps: preparing a solution from a mixture of medium-chain
potassium 3-hydroxyaliphatate, long-chain
potassium aliphatate and
sodium alginate, and spraying the solution on the surfaces of compound
fertilizer particles to form a pre-
coating layer; then spraying a
metal salt solution containing CaCl2 or MgCl2, reacting and
drying under the condition of 40-60 DEG C, so that the mixed
potassium aliphatate is converted into Ca / Mg
metal soap in situ on the surfaces of the particles, thereby forming a hydrophobic
metal soap film layer. The obtained film layer is insoluble in the initial stage, is resistant to water
corrosion and can effectively
delay dissolution of nutritional ingredients in the compound
fertilizer; after application, the metal
soap film is exposed in a
microorganism or CO2 environment, and the metal
soap film is gradually degraded, so that the
controlled release of the fertilizer and the
coating film layer is realized. The method is convenient to use and suitable for large-scale production of the compound fertilizer. Medium-chain 3-
hydroxy fatty acid has a unique effect of promoting growth of underground rhizomes, and the
fatty acid metal soap coated compound fertilizer can be used for promoting growth of underground
rhizome crops so as to achieve the purpose of increasing production and income.
