Sulphate-supplemented NPK nanofertilizer and its effect on maize growth

Sulphate-supplemented nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPKS) fertilizer was nanoformulated through ionic gelation of chitosan (CS) and tripolyphosphate (TPP) at pH value of 5.5 to afford a series of nanofertilizers. The CS-TPP nanoparticles and CS-TPP-NPKS nanofertilizers were engineered using di...
