Slow release fertilizer hydrogels: A review

In agriculture, there are problems such as the high porosity of soils, high irrigation of water and low fertilizer retention. Therefore, materials with the ability to absorb a high amount of water and release it over a long period of time in combination with a fertilizer may be a possible solution....
