Abstract Fertilizers industry faces the challenge of improving the efficiency of its
products either by optimizing the fertilizers in use or by developing new types of
them. During the last decade, controlled and slow release technologies have
become more important. These technologies aim to increase the efficiency of the
applied substance by increasing its action over time and avoiding losses of all kinds
(leaching, volatilization). The main purpose of the current study was to obtain a
slow release biofertilizer by incorporating microalgae into a polymeric ureaformaldehyde
matrix (PUFM). The quantitative analysis of macronutrients and
micronutrients in… More >
