Eco-friendly cellulose hydrogels as controlled release fertilizer for enhanced growth and yield of upland rice

Abstract The effect of urea-loaded cellulose hydrogel, a controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) on growth and yield of upland rice were investigated in upland rice. As with the initial research, nitrogen (N) treatments were applied as CRF treatments; T2H (30 kg N ha−1), T3H (60 kg N ha−1), T4H (90 kg N...
