The Production of Organic-Inorganic Compound Film-Coated Urea and the Characteristics of Its Nutrient Release

The effect of different concentrations of natural macromolecular compound on the characteristics of nutrient release in the membrane materials of organic-inorganic compound film-coated urea was discussed,and the optimal concentrations for better nutrient release was proposed.The characteristics of nutrient release of film-coated urea were evaluated by soil column leaching experiment.Organic-inorganic compound film-coated urea showed good characteristics of nutrient release,which could be well simulated by Logistic curve.The two parameters in this curve,a and r,can be used to present nutrient release of film-coated urea,and followed the order of B ＞ C ＞ A and C ＜ B ＜ A,respectively,indicating that the release was stronger with the increasing concentration of natural maeromolecular compound in the membrane,which implied better controllability of nutrient release.The concentration of 5% of natural macromolecular compound showed better characteristic of nutrient release and can be utilized as a membrane material combined with inorganic mineral powders to develop film-coated slow-release fertilizer.
