The Influence of Polymer-Coated Urea and Urea Fertilizer Mixtures on Spring Wheat Protein Concentrations and Economic Returns (2013, background): “, 2004), and therefore, can decrease the amount of N lost by leaching, volatilization, and denitrification (Shaviv, 2001; Sun et al., 2004).”
Role of Macronutrients in Plant Growth and Acclimation: Recent Advances and Future Prospective (2014, background): “Potassium plays a valuable role in minimizing the worldwide agriculture and agronomical problems like heavy metal stress: Cd, Cr, and Al (Shaviv 2001).”
Fabrication and characterisation of nanoporous zeolite based N fertilizer (2014, background): “…the problems arising from the high solubility of many N fertilizers and their potential vulnerability to leaching, especially in the nitrate form, a range of slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) and controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) have been developed (Shaviv, 2000; Subramanian and Tarafdar, 2011).”
Nanofertilizers and their roles in sustainable agriculture (2013, background): “Such cases along with the fact that the fertilizer use efficiency is about 20-50 percent for nitrogen and 10-25 percent for phosphorus fertilizers implies that food production will have to be much more efficient than ever before (Shaviv, 2000; Chinnamuthu and Boopathi, 2009).”
Mathematical Model for Potassium Release from Polymer-coated Fertiliser (2004, background): “Polymer-coated controlled-release fertilisers are used to overcome and improve current low nutrient use efficiency, and the potential economic and environmental benefits have been reported (Shaviv, 1999, 2000, 2001).”
Micronutrients for Sustainable Food, Feed, Fibre and Bioenergy Production (2008, background): “Th ese are polymer-coated (resin, plastic or wax) granules or prills designed to slowly disperse the nutrient contents into the soil (Shaviv, 2001).”
Reduced N Fertilizer Application with Optimal Blend of Controlled-Release Urea and Urea Improves Tomato Yield and Quality in Greenhouse Production System (2020, background): “Furthermore, the manufacturing cost of CRU was at least 1–2 times higher than that of conventional mineral N fertilizers (Shaviv 2001).”
Meticulous Overview on the Controlled Release Fertilizers (2014, methodology): “Economically, CRFs supply nutrients to the crops for the entire season through a single application thereby saving spreading costs and reduce the demand for short-season manual labour required for topdressing operations [7].”
