Biochar, characterized by high specific surface area and porosity as well as by the presence
of various functional groups, can be an excellent matrix for creating fertilizers that slowly …

Slow controlled release fertilizer (SRF) is the hot direction of new fertilizer development, but
there is no unified, perfect, standardized classification basis. This paper documents a review …

The partial substitution of chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer
is an effective approach for improving crop yield and soil quality. However, few studies have …

Understanding the relationship between fertilization and soil bacterial communities in a salt‐
affected environment is essential for alleviating the adverse impact of excessive salinity on …

A semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) slow-release nitrogen fertilizer with
water absorbency was synthesized via microwave irradiation. Urea was incorporated as the …

Container-grown plants refer to plants produced in confined volume filled with substrates.
The substrates endogenously have limited nutrients and low water-holding capacity. Plants …

Clone libraries of bacterial 16S rRNA genes (a total of 1,980 clones) were constructed from
the leaf blades, petioles, taproots, and lateral roots of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) grown …

Soil microorganisms play an irreplaceable role in agricultural production, however, an
understanding of response of soil microorganisms to slow-release and common fertilizer …

Biochar-modified polyacrylate-like polymers are promising waterborne polymer-based
membrane coatings for controlled-release fertilizers. However, the effect of these membrane …

Slow-and controlled-release fertilizers (S/CRFs) are considered as novel and revolutionary
approaches in the field of fertilizer synthesis. S/CRFs are seen as economical and …
