ABSTRACT

40

41

The coating of fertilizers with polymers is an acknowledged strategy for

42

controlling the release of nutrients and their availability in soil. However, its

43

effectiveness in the case of soluble phosphate fertilizers is still uncertain, and

44

information is lacking concerning the chemical properties and structures of such

45

coatings. Here, an oil-based hydrophobic polymer system (polyurethane) is

46

proposed for control of the release of phosphorus from diammonium phosphate

47

(DAP) granules. This material was systematically characterized, with evaluation

48

of the delivery mechanism and the availability of phosphate in an acid soil. The

49

results indicated that thicker coatings can change the maximum nutrient

50

availability towards longer periods like 4.5 to 7.5 wt% DAP coated that

51

presented the highest concentrations at 336 h, compared to 168 h for uncoated

52

DAP. In contrast, DAP treated with 9.0 wt% began to increase the concentration

53

after 168 h until it results in maximum release at 672 h. These effects could be

54

attributed to the homogeneity of the polymer and the porosity. The strategy

55

successfully provided long-term availability of a phosphate source.

INTRODUCTION

59

Increased agricultural productivity to meet the demand for food, fiber, and

60

energy production has driven the increased use of inputs such as mineral

61

fertilizers.1 High doses of soluble fertilizers are required to supply the nutritional

62

needs of plants grown on soils with low natural fertility, such as Oxisols.

63

However, the acidity and high contents of iron and aluminum-based compounds

64

in these soils reduce the efficiency of phosphate fertilizers, due to strong

65

phosphorus (P) fixation, which decreases the availability of this nutrient to

66

plants.2-4 Such losses can be minimized by controlling nutrient release and

67

maintaining a temporally homogeneous availability of phosphate at moderate

68

levels in soil.5-7

69

One technique that can be employed to provide controlled delivery is the

70

use of coatings that restrict the rate of solubilization of the fertilizer, hence

71

altering the process of fixation in the soil.8-10 Considering the dynamics of

72

phosphate assimilation by plants, the effect of such coatings can lead to the

73

delivery of smaller amounts of phosphate, with fixation in the soil components

74

being reduced due to lower anion migration. This effect was studied by

75

Figueiredo et al. (2012), who observed better performance in terms of yield and

76

total dry matter production of maize, compared to the use of uncoated

77

fertilizers.11 Garcia et al. (1997) reported that pine lignin coatings increased the

78

availability of P in the soil and reduced fixation.12 The coating of diammonium

79

phosphate (DAP) with rosin has also been shown to provide control of P fixation

80

in the soil, with coated fertilizer enabling the maintenance of P availability for

81

longer periods.13-14

82

Previous studies have not described the structures of coatings, and have

83

not correlated the chemical properties of coated materials with agronomic

84

outcomes. Hence, there is a need for improved information concerning suitable

85

coatings designed specifically for agricultural applications. Many of the

86

materials currently available employ coatings developed for other applications,

87

which have been tested for use with phosphate without detailed investigation of

88

their chemical characteristics.

89

A recent study about our group described the kinetics of N release in a

90

biodegradable oil-based polymeric coating system.15 However, there are

91

several concerns about the effectiveness of this strategy to non-volatile

92

fertilizers, such as DAP. Especially for phosphate fertilizers, the main drawback

93

for efficient use is related to the reaction against Fe or Al sources, widely

94

present in tropical soils – which leads to very low soluble compounds

95

immobilizing the phosphate. Our findings show that the slow DAP release has a

96

role in the reduction of its phosphate immobilization by a continuous nutrient

97

supply, avoiding local saturation and consequently optimizing the fertilizer

98

usage. Therefore, despite the paper investigates the effect of different coating

99

thickness in this fertilizer release, the main goal of this paper is show that

100

polyurethane (PU) coatings may be an effective strategy for phosphate-based

101

fertilizers management, which is a considerable advance for the chemical

102

processing of such products.

103

In addition, the present work also proposes the use of an oil-based

104

hydrophobic polymer system to control the release of phosphorus from DAP

105

granules. A systematic characterization of this material was performed, and

106

evaluation was made of the delivery behavior and availability of phosphate in an



Page 6 of 23

107

Oxisol. The findings contribute to an improved understanding of the effects of

108

coatings on phosphate fertilizers, supporting future strategies for better fertilizer

109

management.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

112

Preparation of materials

113

Granules of diammonium phosphate (DAP), typically 3 mm in diameter,

114

were coated using a castor oil-based polyurethane resin system (here denoted

115

PU). DAP was chosen due to its high phosphate content, high solubility, and

116

granular morphology, which enabled it to be employed as a model for different

117

soluble granular phosphate fertilizers. The preparation of the coating followed

118

the methodology of Bortoletto-Santos et al. (2016), and the resin was

119

synthesized using commercial MDI (4.4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, Bayer).

120

The oil:MDI mass ratio used was 60:40, and the quantities were calculated from

121

the mass of DAP. The resin was dispersed over the granules using a metal

122

turntable coater with 25 cm inner side flaps, at 30 rpm rotation, under a flow of

123

air heated at 145-155 ºC.

124

The quality of the coatings was first evaluated by deposition onto glass

125

slides, with selection of the conditions that resulted in the most visually

126

homogeneous layers. The coatings were prepared at mass ratios from 1.5 wt%

127

to 9.0 wt% (in steps of 1.5 wt%). For example, in the process employing 1.5

128

wt% coating, 15 g of polymer were added to 1.0 kg of DAP. The coating

129

process involved only one stage for each percentage prepared, with the

130

required mass of resin being added to the metal dish coater containing the


Page 7 of 23


7

131

granules using a needleless syringe. The same procedure was performed for

132

each of the coatings.

133

After preparation of the material, the actual coating percentage was

134

determined in order to check for any significant difference from the theoretical

135

coating percentage. For this, a 0.5 g sample of the coated granules was

136

comminuted and solubilized in distilled water for 15 min with the aid of an

137

ultrasonic stirrer. The solution was then filtered to obtain only the coating, which

138

was dried in an oven at 35 °C for 48 h, followed by weighing. The results are

139

shown in Table 1.

140 141

Physical and chemical characteristics of the coatings

142

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

143

Morphological characterization of DAP and the polymer coatings was

144

performed by SEM, using a JEOL JSM 6510 microscope coupled to an energy

145

dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis system (Thermo Scientific). For analysis, the

146

samples were dispersed on a carbon ribbon attached to the surface of a metal

147

disc (stub), followed by coating with gold in an ionization chamber (MED 020,

148

Bal-Tec). The images were acquired using the following conditions: 200 or 500

149

magnification levels, 10 kv tension and secondary detector.

150 151

Water release assays

152

Water release assays were used to determine the rate of fertilizer release

153

according to time, at room temperature. The experimental conditions followed

154

the methodology described by Bortoletto-Santos and Ribeiro (2014), in which a

155

beaker containing a known mass of the coated material was immersed in a



Page 8 of 23

8

156

larger beaker containing water, under constant stirring, hence ensuring

157

homogeneous release of DAP. This arrangement ensured that the release was

158

only due to diffusion through the coating, and not the mechanical action of the

159

stirrer.16

160 161

Phosphorus determination

162

The determination of phosphorus followed the methodology presented by

163

Plotegher and Ribeiro (2016), involving the preparation of a mixed reagent (25

164

mL of a 25% solution of sulfuric acid + 5.5 mL of 9.5% ammonium molybdate

165

solution + 0.6 mL of 3.25% antimony and potassium tartrate solution), together

166

with solutions of ascorbic acid (7%) and citric acid (2.2%).

167

A 5 mL volume of the diluted sample was mixed with 0.2 mL of citric acid

168

solution + 2 mL of ascorbic acid solution + 2 mL of the mixed reagent solution.

169

This mixture was heated at 50 °C for 10 min, forming a blue complex that was

170

analyzed at a wavelength of 800-900 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer

171

(1601PC, Shimadzu).17

172 173

Phosphorus release in soil

174

The release of phosphorus into soil from the DAP coated with different

175

proportions of PU polymer was evaluated in an incubation experiment. DAP

176

granules, with or without coating, were applied to an Oxisol collected from the

177

surface layer (0-20 cm) of an agricultural soil in São Carlos (São Paulo State,

178

Brazil). Samples of soil with particle size smaller than 2 mm showed the

179

following characteristics: 433 g.kg-1 (sand), 35 g.kg-1 (silt), and 532 g.kg-1 (clay),

180

according to soil texture analysis using the pipette method; equivalent moisture

200 g.kg-1; pH (H2O) 5.18, measured with a glass electrode; potential

182

extractable acidity 2.6 cmolc H + Al kg-1; available P 0.7 mg.kg-1; remaining

183

phosphorus (P-rem) 2.1 mg.L-1; organic carbon 7.56 g.kg-1, measured by the

184

Walkley-Black method; and cation exchange capacity (CEC) 4.23 cmolc.kg-1.18-

185

21

186

Samples (20 g) of soil were incubated in Petri dishes (5.5 cm diameter)

187

with DAP granules, with or without a polymeric coating, using a P:soil ratio of

188

1:2000 g.g-1. After incorporation of the granules, soil moisture was standardized

189

to 80% of water-holding capacity and was maintained constant during the

190

incubation period, with the addition of groundwater whenever necessary.

191

The samples were incubated at a controlled temperature of 25 °C for 24,

192

72, 168, 336, and 662 h. After each incubation period, the remainder of the DAP

193

granules was removed and the soil was dried at 40 °C. The phosphorus

194

remaining in the granules was indirectly estimated from the remaining N

195

content, which was measured by mass spectrometry (CHN-S/O 2400 Series II

196

Elemental Analyzer, PerkinElmer). The available phosphorus in the soil was

197

determined by Mehlich-1 extraction using a soil:extractant ratio of 1:50 (g.mL-1),

198

with quantification as described by Embrapa (1979).

199

The P-rem value of each sample was expressed as a percentage relative

200

to the P applied as DAP. The recovery profile of available phosphorus in the soil

201

was calculated using means and standard deviations. Differences between

202

mean values were determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA), and

203

differences between treatments were compared using Fisher’s test (p 1, we assume that this indicates a strong influence of the

234

coating on retarding the release, which is gradually allowing the diffusion

235

(accelerating the process) by opening pores or degrading the structure. The n

236

values close to 1 to uncoated and 1.5 wt% coated sample indicate that these

237

samples are typically solubilizing and diffusing in the medium, i.e., the 1.5 wt%

238

sample probably have significant uncoated parts where the dissolution takes

239

place without any barrier. The similar n values for the other PU coated samples

240

(≈ 2) indicate that the coating is probably complete in the samples, imposing a

241

continuous diffusion barrier for phosphate dissolution. It is noteworthy that these

242

samples differ mainly in k values, indicating that this process velocity is

243

governed by coating thickness; and in t0, which may be interpreted as the

244

necessary time to the coating attain equilibrium to the solution. These results

245

also show that PU coated samples are changing their structure during release,

246

probably by the interaction with water opening pores or void spaces.

247

In this case, the similar n and k values for 6.0 and 7.5 wt% PU coated

248

samples indicate that the diffusion is continuously occurring through the coating,

249

whereas the strong deviation observed for 9.5 wt% PU coated sample indicate

250

that the coating is changing its structure during release. Similar results were

251

observed for urea-coated granules, showing that the chemical interaction of PU

252

coating to water is almost the same. The adjust constants in modified Ritger-

253

Peppas model were depicted in Table 2.

254

A soil incubation experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness

255

of the castor oil-based PU resin for DAP coating in order to control the release



Page 12 of 23

12

256

of phosphorus. Figure 4 and Table 3 shows a plot of the remaining P content of

257

the DAP granules after different incubation periods. The results indicated that

258

the treatments could be classified into three groups. The first "fast release"

259

group showed total P release in the first 24 h after incorporation of the fertilizer

260

in the soil, and included the untreated DAP and the treatments using 1.5 wt%

261

and 3.0 wt% coatings (Table 3). The second "slow release" group showed

262

release of around 60% during periods of between 168 h and 672 h, and

263

included the DAP treatments using 4.5 wt%, 6.0 wt%, and 7.5 wt% PU. The

264

third "extended release" group consisted of the DAP coated with 9.0 wt% PU,

265

which showed only 6.0% release of P in the first 168 h, and 95% release after

266

672 h. These results were in agreement with the release of P into water from

267

coated DAP (Figure 2), reflecting a positive correlation between the release

268

tests performed using water and soil. As suggested by the release tests using

269

water (Figure 2), the poor release control exhibited by DAP coated with 1.5 wt%

270

or 3.0 wt% PU could be attributed to the presence of imperfections (cracks) in

271

the coating, showing that 3.0 wt% PU was not sufficient to adequately cover the

272

granules. However, further increase in the proportion of PU increased the

273

thickness of the coating, thereby reducing the imperfections. Hence, the 9.0

274

wt% PU treatment, which resulted in the greatest thickness of coating,

275

prevented any significant release of P for up to 168 h after incorporation into the

276

soil. However, after this time, the degradation of the coating by the action of

277

microorganisms present in the soil was intensified, leading to an increase in the

278

quantity of pores (cracks) in the coating and simultaneously increasing the

279

release of phosphorus.

280

Figure 5 shows the recovery profile of available phosphorus in the soil for

281

different periods of incubation of the DAP granules. The soil phosphorus

282

concentration reflected the profile of release from the granules, and the

283

treatments could be grouped in the same way as for the data shown in Figure 6.

284

For the uncoated DAP and the granules coated with 1.5 wt% and 3.0 wt% PU,

285

the maximum concentration of available phosphorus in the soil was observed at

286

168 h. However, the DAP treated with 4.5 wt%, 6.0 wt%, and 7.5 wt% PU

287

presented the highest concentrations at 336 h, reflecting slower release. On the

288

other hand, in the case of the DAP treated with 9.0 wt% PU, the concentration

289

started to increase after 168 h and then continued to increase until the end of

290

the incubation period.

291

Table 4 shows the average values for P available in the soil during the

292

incubation period. Due to the rapid and similar release of P from the uncoated

293

DAP and the granules coated with 1.5 wt% and 3.0 wt% PU, the available P

294

content of the soil exceeded 53 mg.kg-1 up to 24 h. For the treatment using DAP

295

coated with 4.5 wt% PU, there was a significant increase in available P content

296

from 72 h of incubation. In the case of the treatments with DAP coated with 6.0

297

wt% and 7.5 wt% PU, there were increases in the soil P content from 168 h,

298

while the use of DAP coated with 9.0 wt% PU resulted in an increase from 336

299

h of incubation (after 14 days).

300

The soils treated with uncoated DAP or DAP coated with 1.5 wt% and

301

3.0 wt% PU showed maximum contents of available phosphorus after 168 h,

302

with values exceeding 100 mg.kg-1. However, these contents decreased to

303

about 70 mg.kg-1 by the end of the incubation period, corresponding to

304

reductions of between 38.4 and 43.3 mg.kg-1. This could be attributed to the



Page 14 of 23

14

305

high P adsorption potential of the colloids present in the Oxisol used in the

306

incubation experiment, as indicated by its low pH (5.18), high acidity potential

307

(2.6 cmolc.kg-1), low available P content (0.7 mg.kg-1), and low P-rem value (2.1

308

mg.L-1).23

309

Smaller decreases of available phosphorus were observed for the

310

treatments using DAP coated with 4.5 wt%, 6.0 wt%, and 7.5 wt% PU, with

311

reductions of between 13.8 and 23.3 mg.kg-1. The lower phosphorus adsorption

312

associated with these treatments could be explained by the shorter contact time

313

of P with the soil, due to its slow release from the DAP granules. In contrast, the

314

treatment using DAP coated with 9.0 wt% PU, with greater thickness of the

315

coating, showed an increase in P release up to 672 h of incubation, with an

316

available P content of 95 mg.kg-1. The latter finding could be attributed to the

317

extended release of P from the DAP granules, which provided higher levels of P

318

for longer periods after fertilization of the soil.

319

In summary, the findings demonstrated that the coating of a soluble P

320

source (DAP) with PU had an appreciable effect on the availability of

321

phosphorus in an acid tropical soil. This effect was influenced by the coating

322

thickness, since the use of thin coatings resulted in poor surface quality due to

323

the irregularity of the granules, with the formation of cracks in the coating

324

causing accelerated release of phosphorus. The results showed that thicker and

325

more homogeneous coatings provided satisfactory control of P release, leading

326

to extended availability of P in the soil over longer periods.
