ABSTRACT:
This disclosure concerns affixing various seeds, such as grass seeds, to surfaces or cavities of specially manufactured fertilizer carriers formed into various shapes, e.g. star crosssections, tri-lobe or multi-lobe profiles, or cup-like or similar cavity-containing shapes. This shape and the manner of manufacturing of the fertilizer provides grooves and cavities or areas to which the seed can be affixed to the fertilizer and protected against damage during shipping and handling. The fertilizer carrier also acts as a nutrient source for the seed while the seed is most vulnerable, i.e. during its emergence from the seed coat and the first few days after emergence.
