What is Sulphur Coated Urea (SCU)?

Sulphur coated urea (SCU) is a controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer consisting of urea granules encapsulated with a thin layer of elemental sulfur. This innovative fertilizer technology provides both nitrogen (from urea core) and sulfur nutrients to plants while significantly reducing nitrogen losses through leaching, volatilization, and denitrification. The sulfur coating acts as a semi-permeable barrier that controls the release rate of nitrogen based on soil temperature and moisture conditions, ensuring sustained nutrient availability throughout the crop growing season. SCU typically contains 32-38% nitrogen and 10-18% sulfur, making it particularly valuable for crops requiring extended nutrient supply and in agricultural systems focused on precision farming and environmental sustainability.

What is Driving the Sulphur Coated Urea (SCU) Market?

The global sulphur coated urea market is experiencing robust growth driven by increasing demand for sustainable agriculture practices and precision farming techniques worldwide. Rising concerns about nitrogen fertilizer efficiency and environmental impact are propelling farmers toward controlled-release fertilizers like SCU. Growing awareness of sulfur deficiency in soils, particularly in high-yield crop production systems, is significantly boosting market expansion. The need for improved nutrient use efficiency to maximize crop yields while minimizing environmental pollution is creating substantial market opportunities. Additionally, government initiatives promoting sustainable farming practices, increasing adoption of precision agriculture technologies, and the growing global food security concerns are further driving market growth, especially in regions with intensive agricultural production and environmental regulations.
