<；P>；PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a granular fertilizer composition capable of realizing the diversified duration of fertilizer effect or elution pattern and supplying fertilizer components suitably to crops. <；P>；SOLUTION: The granular fertilizer composition comprises a thermosetting resin coated granular fertilizer having a coating film comprising a thermosetting resin on the surface of a granular fertilizer and a thermoplastic resin coated granular fertilizer having a coating film comprising a thermoplastic resin on the surface of the granular fertilizer. It is preferable that the quantity of the resin coating film is that of 2-20 wt.% of the granular fertilizer, the content of each resin coated granular fertilizer is &ge；3 wt.%, the existing ratio by weight of thermosetting resin coated granular fertilizer to the thermoplastic resin coated granular fertilizer is (1:10)-(10:1) and the average particle diameter of each resin coated granular fertilizer is 1-10 mm. The method of applying fertilizer which is carried out by applying the thermosetting resin coated granular fertilizer and the thermoplastic resin coated granular fertilizer to the same cultivating crops simultaneously or continuously is also provided. <；P>；COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
