Sulfur-Coated Urea (SCU) Detailed Specifications

Terafon® Sulfur-Coated Urea (SCU) is an advanced controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer engineered with a high-quality sulfur coating that slows nitrogen release, enhances nutrient efficiency, and reduces environmental loss. SCU provides a stable, long-lasting nitrogen supply while delivering essential sulfur to support protein synthesis and overall plant metabolism. Ideal for modern precision agriculture and long-season crops, Terafon® SCU offers improved performance, reduced application frequency, and greater nutrient-use efficiency across diverse soils and crops.

Key Features & Benefits

Controlled and Extended Nitrogen Release

The sulfur coating forms a protective layer that slows nitrogen dissolution, providing a steady nutrient supply for 30–120 days. This ensures consistent feeding during critical crop stages and minimizes nitrogen spikes.

Dual Nutrition: Nitrogen + Sulfur

SCU delivers both nitrogen and essential sulfur, supporting amino acid formation, enzyme activation, and improved crop quality—especially for sulfur-demanding crops such as oilseeds, cereals, and legumes.

Higher Nitrogen-Use Efficiency

Sulfur-coated urea significantly reduces nitrogen loss caused by volatilization, leaching, and denitrification, improving fertilizer utilization and reducing environmental impact.

Enhanced Soil Health

As the sulfur coating decomposes, it contributes to soil microbial activity and nutrient cycling, improving soil structure and long-term fertility.

Ideal for Blending & Bulk Applications

Granular form is stable, non-caking, and suitable for NPK compound fertilizer production.

Excellent Handling & Storage Stability

The coating minimizes hygroscopicity, preventing caking and dust formation. SCU is easy to store, transport, and apply using all types of mechanical spreaders.

Suitable for a Wide Range of Crops

Ideal for grains, vegetables, fruit trees, sugarcane, cotton, turfgrass, and other crops requiring long-term nitrogen availability and supplemental sulfur.

Applications

1. Basal / Pre-Plant Application

Provides a steady nitrogen supply early in the growth cycle, promoting healthy root and vegetative development.

2. One-Time or Split Application

SCU’s controlled-release characteristics allow for reduced application frequency, optimizing labor and cost.

3. Blending into Compound and Bulk Fertilizers

Compatible with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers for producing slow-release NPK formulations.

4. Mechanical Broadcasting

Uniform, hardened granules ensure smooth operation with all spreading equipment.

Usage Instructions

  • Apply based on soil analysis, crop requirements, and expected release period.
  • Avoid concentrated placement to prevent early nitrogen release peaks.
  • Light incorporation into soil or use with mulching can further reduce ammonia loss.
  • Store in a dry environment and avoid mechanical impact that may damage the coating.

Packaging & Storage

  • Packaging Options: Available in 9.5 kg and 50 kg woven polypropylene bags with polyethylene liners, or in bulk jumbo bags (500 kg–1,000 kg).
  • Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture, acids, and strong oxidizers.
  • Handling Tips: Keep bags off the ground on pallets, protect from rain, and avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity to prevent caking.
  • Shelf Life: Maintain product quality for up to 12 months under proper storage conditions.
