Method of dedusting granules of agricultural micronutrient metal sulfates by coating the granules with a monomeric liquid, which is catalytically polymerizable by the metal sulfates, and contacting the dust particles with the coated granules while the monomeric liquid is polymerized through an adhesive stage to a hard dry coating which occludes substantially all of the dust particles on the surface of the granules. Aqueous methylol and methylene ureas, partially condensed urea-formaldehyde solutions containing some free urea, and cane molasses are effective monomeric liquids for dedusting sulfates, oxysulfates, and mixtures of micronutrient metals, including: zinc, manganese, iron, copper, and lead. The dedusting method is effective in improving the condition of the granules when a small amount of conditioner such as clay is added as a dust. The conditioner occluded on the surface of the granule provides an effective base for coloring the granules with dye solutions.
