Oil-Based Polymer Coatings on CAN Fertilizer in Oilseed Rape (<i>Brassica napus</i> L.) Nutrition
Fertilizer coating can increase the efficiency of N fertilizers and reduce their negative impact on the environment. This may be achieved by the utilization of biodegradable natural coating materials instead of polyurethane-based polymers. The aim of this study was to detect the effect of calcium am...
