A granular agrochemical composition is disclosed including a granular core material having a water soluble portion with a first coating layer applied on the surface of the core material and a second coating layer applied on the surface of the first coating layer. The first coating layer includes a wax composition having a biologically active ingredient incorporated therein and the second coating layer includes a polymeric composition.; The granular agrochemical composition exhibits a controlled rate of release of the biologically active ingredient therefrom over a period greater than about 30 days from the date of initial exposure of the granular composition to moisture whereby essentially all of the biologically active ingredient incorporated in the wax material of the first coating layer is released from the granular composition before the water soluble portion of the granular core material is released from the granular composition.

A controlled release product is provided having a suppressed initial release period and a predetermined longevity. The product includes a particulate water soluble core material and a semi-permeable coating layer applied on the core material for controlling the release rate of the core material. The semi-permeable coating layer is formulated in accordance with the following equation to provide a release rate wherein initial release of core material from the product is suppressed so that less than about 15 weight percent of core material is released from the product within a 24 hour period after application of the product and wherein longevity of release, at ambient temperature, between the time of application and the time at which at least about 75 weight percent of the core material is released from the product is 60 days or less:
