Research advances on controlled-release mechanisms of nutrients in coated fertilizers
包膜肥料养分控释机理研究进展

Using encapsulation techniques to coat easily soluble fertilizers is an important way to improve fertilizer use efficiency while reduce environmental hazards. Based on a wide range of literature collection on coated fertilizer research,the theories,processes,and characters of nutrient controlled release from coated fertilizer were discussed,and the factors affecting nutrient controlled release and the mathematical simulations on it were reviewed. The main tendencies related to this research in China were also put forward.
