Environmental impact of fertilizer use and slow release of mineral nutrients as a response to this challenge
Open accessAbstract
Abstract This paper presents the most important issues relating to the influence of mineral fertilizers on both the natural environment and human and animal health. The physiological, environmental and economic impact of fertilizer production and application, resulted from a low assimilation of mineral components by crops, has been described. The research on the development and production of a large and diverse group of materials with slow-release properties that can increase the effectiveness of nutrient uptake, alleviate the negative influence of fertilizers on the environment and reduce labor and energy consumption associated with the use of conventional fertilizers, has been reviewed.

Discrepancy between fertilizer application and nutrient assimilation leads to environmental dispersion of excess mineral nutrients.
“This discrepancy leads to an environmental dispersion of excess mineral nutrients that will not be completely used up during plant production (Lubkowski, 2016).”

On average, uptake of fertilizer nitrogen by plants is about 50% of available N on site, assimilation of phosphorus is about 10-25%, and potassium reaches 50-60% of applied amounts.
“On average, the uptake of fertilizer nitrogen by plants is about 50% of the available N on site, and it is estimated that assimilation of phosphorous is about 10-25% and potassium reaches 50-60% of the applied amounts.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
