The Haber–Bosch process for the commercial production of ammonia demonstrated in 1913 was a watershed event in the mass production of urea, the principal nitrogen fertilizer for modern agriculture. Today, thanks to the so-called “green revolution” starting in in the 1960s, nearly half of the world population relies on increased crop yields, through the use of nitrogen fertilizers, to access aff...

d-coder is a fertilizer with a new slow-release mechanism consisting of an organo-mineral matrix that releases the nutrients only in the presence of growing plants. pot and field experiments were carried out to study the release pattern of n from d-coder. the experiments included grown and bare soil plots. the fertilizer treatments were d-coder, ammonium nitrate (anpreplant), and the control. a...

Improved crop quality and quantity is the main target of soil fertilization in conventional agriculture. However, organic agriculture, adding nutrients to threshold replenishment lost through every crop. Mineral fertilizers provide essential macro microelements plants for their active growth development. Unfortunately, these kinds easily run off from plant vicinity because frequent watering rai...
