Biodegradable oil-based polymeric coatings on urea fertilizer: N release kinetic transformations of urea in soil

ABSTRACT: Polymer coatings are used to control the rate of release of plant available nutrients from fertilizers as well as to reduce nutrient losses such as ammonia (NH3) volatilization. Although the literature presents several examples of materials used to coat urea, little is known about nitrogen...
