New coated urea fertilizers reduce ammonia emissions and enhance soil health.
The study looked at different coatings on urea fertilizers to see how they affect nitrogen release in soil. They found that fast-release fertilizers released most of the nitrogen quickly, while slow-release fertilizers released less nitrogen over a longer period. Some coatings helped delay nitrogen release and reduce ammonia gas losses, while others were not as effective. This research shows that the type of coating on urea fertilizers can change how nitrogen moves in the soil.
