Introduction: Intensive rice production relies heavily on chemical fertilizers, particularly nitrogen (N), but substantial N losses through ammonia (NH₃) volatilization can reduce nitrogen-use efficie
Introduction: Conventional fertilizers release nutrients rapidly and often fail to synchronize nutrient availability with crop demand, resulting in substantial nutrient losses through leaching, volati
Introduction: Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) can improve nutrient-use efficiency by gradually releasing nutrients according to crop demand. However, conventional CRFs commonly use petroleum-bas
Introduction: Chemical fertilizers have been essential to boosting food production worldwide, but nutrients that crops fail to take up can be lost to the atmosphere or waterways, leading to greenhouse
Introduction: Conventional urea is widely used because of its high nitrogen content and low cost, but substantial nitrogen can be lost through ammonia (NH₃-N) volatilization, reducing fertilizer effi
Introduction: Agricultural fertilizer use is essential for maintaining crop productivity but is also an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly nitrous oxide (N₂O) associated
