Description

Report Overview

Sulphur-coated urea (SCU) is a controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer designed to improve nutrient efficiency and reduce environmental losses. The product consists of urea granules coated with a layer of elemental sulfur, sometimes combined with a sealant like wax or polymer to further regulate nitrogen release. The sulfur coating acts as a barrier, slowing the dissolution of urea in soil moisture, which allows for a more gradual nitrogen release aligned with plant uptake. This technology addresses key challenges in conventional urea fertilizers, such as rapid volatilization, leaching, and denitrification, which contribute to nutrient wastage and environmental pollution. SCU is particularly beneficial in high-moisture or warm climates where nitrogen loss is accelerated, as well as in crops with extended growth cycles requiring sustained nutrient availability. The dual nutrient aspect—providing both nitrogen and sulfur—also enhances its value, as sulfur is increasingly recognized as a critical secondary macronutrient for plant growth, particularly in sulfur-deficient soils. The controlled-release mechanism improves fertilizer use efficiency, reduces application frequency, and supports sustainable agriculture practices by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and water contamination.

The global Sulphur-Coated Urea Fertilizer market size was estimated at USD 6059.39 million in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.25% during the forecast period.
