Abiotic stresses, such as heat, salt, waterlogging, and multiple-stress environments have significantly reduced wheat production in recent decades. There is a need to use effective strategies for overcoming crop losses due these abiotic stresses. Fertilizer-based approaches are readily available can be managed all farming communities. This research revealed the effects of sulfur-coated urea (SC...

Urea coating has been conducted using polylactic acid (PLA) blended with an industrial softwood kraft lignin. The latter was pre-functionalized via esterification or Mannich reaction. The coated urea becomes therefore a highly effective nitrogen fertilizer due to the controlled release after the coating, the slow release from the organically bound nitrogen structure formed after the Mannich rea...

To investigate the interacting effects of polymer coated urea (PCU) and polymer coated potassium chloride (PCPC) on cotton growth, an experiment was conducted with containerized plants in 2014 and 2015. There were two kinds of nitrogen fertilizer, PCU and urea, which were combined with PCPC at three application rates (40, 80 and 120 kg ha-1). The kinds of nitrogen fertilizer formed the main plo...

Controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer (CRNF) is expected to meet the nutrient demands for crop growth with single application, so as achieve high-yield, high-efficiency, and labor-saving cultivation. However, under current CRNF practices, a application of in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) usually fails satisfactory effects due insufficient (N) supply later stage, contributing premature le...

Poorly drained claypan soils can increase the importance of tillage and N management for corn (Zea mays L.) production. Field research in 2008, 2009 and 2010 (high rainfall years) near Novelty, MO (40° 1' N, 92° 11' W) sought to determine the effect of polymer-coated urea (PCU) placement [strip-tillage (ST) deep banded and no-till (NT) broadcast] and application timing (fall, early preplant...

Adequate fertility combined with effective weed management is important in maximizing corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield. Corn uptake of nitrogen (N) is dependent upon many factors including weed species and density and the rate and formulation of applied N fertilizer. Understanding interactions among corn, applied N, and weeds is important in developing management strategies. Field studies were co...

High N fertilizer and irrigation amounts applied to potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) on coarse-textured soils often result in nitrate (NO3) leaching and low recovery of applied fertilizer N. This 3-yr study compared the effects of two rates (140 and 280 kg N ha(-1)) of a single polyolefin-coated urea (PCU) application versus split applications of urea on 'Russet Burbank' potato yield and on NO3 le...
