ABSTRACT:
Glass compositions are disclosed that are particularly useful in comminuted form as sources of micronutrient elements for soils. The glasses are based on phosphorous as P.sub.2 O.sub.5 and contain a nutrient amount of a micronutrient metal in oxide form, such as zinc, copper, manganese, molybdenum, or boron oxides or mixtures thereof, plus a solubility control agent. The control agent is a metal compound or mixture of metal compounds, usually potassium or sodium oxide or potassium or sodium chloride, and is present in the glass to provide a controlled release of the micronutrient metal, both as to amount and rate.
