This research paper is about the coating processwith biopolymer (polyvynil alcohol) as a coat of different fertilizer granules (Azafoska16:16:16, potassium nitrate and magnesium nitrate as a core material) in presence of nitric acid. The biodegradable polymer layer provides uniform diffusion of minerals into the soil as the polyvinyl alcohol shell decays in the soil. Besides, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy – Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX - 3600) were carried out for the bio-modified fertilizers. The agrochemical changes of the soil in terms of macro – and microelements were also researched.
