With existing challenges on low nutrient use efficiency (NUE) of urea and its environmental concerns, controlled release fertilizers (CRFs) have become a potential solution by formulating them to synchronize nutrient release according to the requirement of plants.
Controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers: A review on bio‐based and
Traditional nitrogen fertilizers, like urea, lead to unde-sirable leaching, runoff losses, and low nutrient use efficiency in crops upon contact with water. Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) present a promising solution by mitigating nutrient loss and enhancing plant uptake.
Controlled
Currently, a new type of fertilizers, controlled-release fertilizers, is becoming increasingly popular. These are slowly soluble fertilizers, in which the release of the nutritional components to the environment is executed gradually, generally through pores (of a capsule or matrix).

CRNF aims to enhance N application suitability, optimizes soil nutrient dynamics, and its widespread use can boost crop NUE and yield. The study investigates how different CRNF and ONF blending ratios affect soil N content, winter wheat growth, and yield.

ertilizers are generally coated products. Slow-release fertilizers are noncoated products in which the nutrient release is uncontrolled but slow; these are mainly urea-aldehyde reaction products but also include other slowly soluble products such as fertilizer .
Controlled release fertilizer: A review on developments, applications
Abstract Controlled release fertilizer (CRF) plays a crucial yet necessary part in the sustainable agriculture industry. An alarming rise in call for crop production directly influences the increasing need for synthetically derived fertilizers and pesticides production.
Cumulative release characteristics of controlled
There were two kinds of nitrogen fertilizer, PCU and urea, which were combined with PCPC at three application rates (40, 80 and 120 kg ha −1). The kinds of nitrogen fertilizer formed...

PDF | This bulletin reviews the status of research and development on slow-release and controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers.
Controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers, also known as slow- or controlled-release fertilizers, are designed to release nitrogen slowly into the soil. Unlike traditional one-time fertilization, these fertilizers adjust nitrogen release based on crop growth needs and soil conditions, reducing nitrogen loss, improving utilization efficiency, and minimizing environmental pollution.
The main types of controlled-release nitrogen fertilizers include:
-
Urea-Based Controlled-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer: Made primarily from urea through chemical reactions or physical methods. Characterized by fast release but short duration, suitable for short-term applications.
-
Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) Resin-Based Fertilizer: Produced using urea-formaldehyde resin via chemical synthesis. Features moderate release rates and longer duration, typically used for mid-term applications.
-
Urea-Amine Resin-Based Fertilizer: Formulated with urea-amine resin through chemical processes. Marked by slow release and long duration, ideal for long-term applications.
-
Urea-Phenol Resin-Based Fertilizer: Derived from urea-phenol resin via chemical reactions. Offers moderate release rates and extended duration, suitable for mid-term use.
-
Urea-Alcohol Resin-Based Fertilizer: Manufactured using urea-alcohol resin through chemical synthesis. Provides consistent moderate release over an extended period, commonly used for mid-term applications.
-
Urea-Ketone Resin-Based Fertilizer: Based on urea-ketone resin and produced through chemical methods. Delivers moderate release with prolonged effectiveness, suited for balanced mid-term nitrogen supply.
-
Urea-Sulfur Resin-Based Fertilizer: Formulated with urea-sulfur resin via chemical processes. Ensures steady nitrogen release over time, often applied in mid-term scenarios.
-
Urea-Ammonium Resin-Based Fertilizer: Created using urea-ammonium resin through chemical synthesis. Designed for moderate release and extended duration, typically used for mid-term crop needs.
-
Urea-Phosphorus Resin-Based Fertilizer: Produced from urea-phosphorus resin via chemical reactions. Offers moderate release rates and long-lasting effects, suitable for mid-term applications.
-
Urea-Potassium Resin-Based Fertilizer: Manufactured using urea-potassium resin through chemical processes. Provides balanced nitrogen release over time, commonly used for mid-term fertilization.
Each type of controlled-release nitrogen fertilizer has distinct characteristics and optimal uses. Farmers can select the appropriate type based on crop type, soil conditions, and economic considerations. For example:
- Short-term needs: Urea-based or urea-amine formulations.
- Long-term stability: Urea-phenol or urea-alcohol formulations.
- Balanced supply: Urea-ketone or urea-sulfur formulations.
By choosing the right fertilizer, agricultural productivity and sustainability can be significantly enhanced.
