Evaluation Of Parameters Governing The Release Rate Of Phosphate Ions From Chitosan-Coated Phosphorus Fertilizer Pellets
Coated fertilizers, which belong to the group of controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) have been widely used in agricultural field in order to reduce the ground water pollution and at the same time increase the nutrient use efficiency by crops. Chitosan is one of promising biopolymers that can be used...

Coated fertilizers, which belong to the group of controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) have been widely used in agricultural field in order to reduce the ground water pollution and at the same time increase the nutrient use efficiency by crops. Chitosan is one of promising biopolymers that can be used as a coating material in order to control the release rate of nutrients from fertilizer pellets due to its excellent properties. Most of the previous studies based on the chitosan coating were focused on the urea and compound fertilizers of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK).
