Fertilizers play an essential role in increasing crop yield, maintaining soil fertility, and
provide a steady supply of nutrients for plant requirements. The excessive use of …

The increase in global population puts pressure on food supplies in the agricultural sector,
whose productivity depends on the soil nutrient availability. This demand has an impact on …

Reducing the release rate of urea can increase its efficiency of use and reduce nitrogen
pollution. A slow-release urea (S-urea) was produced using a new method; a bentonite and …

The discovery and development of phosphorus (P) and P fertilizers provide context for
current management conventions. Average crop yields were stagnant before the Green …

ABSTRACT A novel trilayered controlled‐release nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium
(NPK) fertilizer hydrogel was prepared by dipping the NPK fertilizer granules sequentially in …

This article investigates the intercalation of carbamide within globular glauconite involving
the chemical activation of glauconite with carbamide solution-gel at varying concentrations …

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 …

This study demonstrates the formulation of slow-release fertilizers by the mechanical
activation of a mixture of powdered clays and urea in the ratio 2: 3, using planetary or ring …

Seven nursery grade (8-9 month duration), polymer-coated, controlled-release fertilizers
(CRF) were topdressed or incorporated into a 2 peat: 1 vermiculite: 1 sand (by volume) …

We investigated the mechanochemical synthesis of complex slow release fertilizers (SRF)
derived from glauconite. We studied the effectiveness of the mechanical intercalation of urea …
