Application Of Poly (3-Hydroxybutyrate-co-3 Hydroxyhexanoate) In Controlled Release Fertilizer For Oil Palm Seedlings

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a type of biopolymer, are synthesized by various types of bacteria under limited nitrogen source but in the presence of excess carbon source. PHAs are biodegradable and would be a suitable material to replace those non-biodegradable polymers used in controlled release f...
