AbstractA novel hydrogel slow-release nitrogen fertilizer based on sawdust with water absorbency was prepared using grafting copolymerization. Urea was incorporated as nitrogen source in a hydrogel fertilizer. Potassium persulfate (KPS) and N,N᾽-methylenebis acrylamide (MBA) were used as the initiator and cross-linker, respectively. The structure and properties of the samples were characterized by XPS, EDS, SEM, XRD and FTIR. The effects of various salt solutions, ionic strength and pH on swelling behavior were discussed. The results showed that the largest water absorbency of the sample reached 210 g/g in distilled water. In addition, the sample had the good nitrogen release property. Thus, the novel environmentally friendly hydrogel fertilizer may be widely applied to agricultural and horticultural fields.

Controlled Release Fertilizers

Agriculture is important for people all over the world in order to obtain food to sustain the ever-growing population. However, the current practices for obtaining more and more food has several environmental challenges. Hence, new environmentally friendly fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides have been developed that enhance crop yield by facilitating maximum nutrient uptake by the application of nanotechnology that will help in promoting sustainable agriculture by the slow or controlled release fertilizers. This slow discharge encourages improved delivery of nutrients to the plants that further speeds up early germination, fast growth, and high nutritional level. The current study is aimed to review nano-chemicals used in agriculture that have been developed by the researchers all over the world.

Slow-Release Fertilizers (SRF) Silvamix Forte and Silvagen were tested in two-year experiments with container-grown woody plants (<i>Pyracantha coccinea</i>, <i>Thuja occidentalis</i>). Several fertilizing systems were compared: preplant application of SRF into substrate as the sole nutrient source for a two-year period, preplant application of SRF and soluble fertilizer (PG Mix), and preplant application of SRF and soluble fertilizer together with additional fertilizing by solution of nitrogen fertilizer during both growing periods. A system with controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) Osmocote 5&minus;6 was chosen as a control variant; it was incorporated into substrate before planting in the first year and top-dressed in the second year. CRF Plantacote 6M (mixed into substrate before planting and top-dressed in the second year) and Osmocote 16&minus;18 applied only before planting were tested, too. The experiments showed that SRF Silvamix Forte and Silvagen give results comparable with CFR provided that they were incorporated together with soluble ferti-lizer dose and plants were fertilized by solution of nitrogen fertilizer during both growing periods.
