• Such inorganic coating is suitable for providing macronutrients, micronutrients or a combination thereof to a particulate fertilizer.
• Plants may obtain macronutrients, micronutrients or any combination thereof, amongst others, by the application of particulate fertilizers.

• the invention is directed to the provision of an inorganic coating, suitable for providing macronutrients, micronutrients or any combination thereof to a particulate fertilizer.
• a first possibility is to add macronutrients, micronutrients or a combination thereof into the fertilizer during the manufacturing process of the fertilizer particles, for instance before the fertilizer particles are formed.
• the disadvantage of this possibility is that some reactions between the added macro- or micronutrient components and the acids or other materials present may render some of the macro- or micronutrients unusable.
• zinc oxide (ZnO) comes into contact with phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 )
• insoluble Zn 3 (P04) 2 is formed rendering the macro- or micronutrients unusable.

• US 3,419,379 A discloses a water-resistant coating for ammonium nitrate (NH 4 N0 3 ) granules in which the granules were first coated with desiccants like superphosphoric acid (H 3 P0 4 ), sulfuric acid anhydride (S0 3 ) or oleum (HN0 3 ). The wet granules were then contacted with alkaline materials such as NH 3 (gas), MgO, or CaO in an equimolar or stoichiometric ratio.

• alkaline materials such as NH 3 (gas), MgO, or CaO in an equimolar or stoichiometric ratio.
• the reaction product of the acid with the alkaline material produced a coating around the granules which prevented them from caking, and retarded their dissolution on contact with moist soil. Since an equimolar ratio is used, the basic materials are reacted away with the strong acid to produce a sealing salt layer, consisting of, for instance, calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate, magnesium sulphate, etc. None of the coatings disclosed comprise micronutrients. The use of said desiccants in a commercial plant is cumbersome, has not been used commercially, and it is specifically indicated that neither the acid nor base components may react with the ammonium nitrate particles. None of the coatings disclosed comprise micronutrients.
• FR 2 686 861 A (Thijring, 1993) describes a coating procedure which substitutes the traditional coating by sealing off the particulate fertilizers by a solid capsule. It provides the fertilizers with a better protection and prevents it more efficiently from caking than a traditional coating does.
