چکیده
Controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) are the newest and most technically advanced way of supplying mineral nutrients to nursery crops. Compared to conventional fertilizers, their gradual pattern of nutrient release better meets plant needs, minimizes leaching, and therefore improves fertilizer use efficiency. In our review of the literature, we found many terms used interchangeably with controlled-release, such as slow-release, but in this article, we will simply refer to all of them as controlledrelease fertilizers (CRF). CRF can be divided into 3 categories based on their coating and nutrient composition:

Controlled - Release Fertilizers : Advances and Challenges
Controlledrelease fertilizers (CRFs) offer an excellent option to improve nutrients uptake by plants and reduce the environmental hazards due to excess release of chemicals. Polymer-coated fertilizers, compared to the other types of CRF, are by far the most intensively researched topic because of their great characteristics. Polymercoated fertilizers, which are less sensitive to the soil and en...
متن کاملIncorporating Controlled - Release Fertilizer Technology into Outplanting
The application of controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) at the time of planting offers a means to improve the establishment of forest tree seedlings. As compared to conventional fertilizers, the gradual pattern of nutrient release from CRF may better coincide with plant needs, minimize leaching, and improve fertilizer use efficiency. Many different CRF types are available and products differ in...
متن کاملA Rapid Technique for Prediction of Nutrient Release from Polymer Coated Controlled Release Fertilizers
Controlled release fertilizers (CRF) are produced with different rates and durations of nutrient release to cater to different crops with wide ranges of nutrient requirements. A rapid technique is needed to verify the label specifications of nutrient release rate and duration. Polymer-coated urea (PCU) (43% nitrogen [N]) and polymer-coated N, phosphorus (P), potassium (K) (PC_NPK; 14-14-14) fer...
