Urea has served as the primary nitrogenous fertilizer globally since the early 1950s. It is
widely recognized as the most concentrated nitrogen source, containing approximately 46 …

Excess fertilizer released into the environment from low-efficiency fertilizers has created a
global impact on sustainable agriculture, including environmental, economic, and social …

The use of fertilizer is closely related to crop growth and environmental protection in
agricultural production. It is of great significance to develop environmentally friendly and …

Controlled-release urea (CRU) releases nitrogen (N) at the same pace as rice uptakes N,
which can effectively improve N use efficiency, increase rice yield and improve rice quality …

This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a novel weeding and fertilization scheme,
namely, mechanical weeding plus a one-time deep application of a reduced amount of slow …

In agricultural systems, significant nitrogen (N) losses from traditional fertilizers pose risks to
food security and economic stability. An emerging approach to mitigate these losses …

Rice production is intimately related to water and nitrogen management, whereas rice yield
inevitably decreases with extreme rainfall. Optimization of water and nitrogen management …

Controlled-release urea (CRU) fertilizers are widely used in agricultural production to
reduce conventional nitrogen (N) fertilization-induced agricultural greenhouse gas …

This study addresses the uncertainty regarding the potential of a one-time basal application
of mixed nitrogen (N) fertilizer to optimize both yield and eating quality of late-maturing …

Optimized fertilization is often recommended in crop production. Clarifying its continuous
benefits considering the soil response and feedback is crucial for sustainable agricultural …
