Encapsulation of urea and its effect on NUE, growth and yield of maize

Lalchhuanawmi Hmar, M.R. Backiyavathy, Sharmila Rahale
In this study, three distinct types of urea fertilizer coatings with ethyl cellulose and starch-super absorbent polymer were synthesized and their release pattern as well as their effectiveness in field condition was also closely studied. A column experiment was set up to study the release pattern of the coated urea. Only 40% (64.2 mg N kg-1 soil) of the nitrogen was released by the double-coated urea (EC+SAP) in the first 24 hours, which exhibited the highest slow-release pattern. In a field experiment conducted in Vaiyampalayam, Coimbatore, India, Urea coated with EC + starch-SAP (100% RDF) has the highest dry matter production, followed by Urea coated with EC + starch-SAP (75% RDF) with values of 9519 and 9116 kg ha-1, respectively.
