Environmentally Friendly Fertilizers Based on Starch Superabsorbents

Environmentally Friendly Fertilizers Based on Starch Superabsorbents

Superabsorbents starches (SASs) were synthesized and characterized starting from native corn starch, bitter cassava and sweet cassava by graft copolymerization with itaconic acid. Additionally, their swelling behavior was studied both in water and in buffer solutions with different pHs and saline so...
