1、Hydrogel/clinoptilolite nanocomposite

After immersion of the coated fertilizer samples in water, because of absorption of a lot of water by hydrogel nanocomposite layer, the absorbed water slowly diffuses into the fertilizer core and dissolves the fertilizer, and therefore fertilizer could be slowly released out.

2、Dynamic of Water Absorption in Controlled Release Fertilizer and its Relationship with the Release of Nutrient

Results showed that water penetration in the coating took place sooner and faster than that in the fertilizers. And, the lag time in nutrient release profile should be linked to the water infiltration in the coating rather than that in fertilizers.

3、Micro/Nanofertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture: A Review

Poorly effective traditional fertilizers and resulting environmental pressure have led to the development of micro/nanosized nutrients. Although a growing number of laboratory studies confirm that micro/nanofertilizers (MNFs) can promote plant growth and improve nutrition, they are not yet commercially produced in force. One major barrier is the higher raw material and processing costs ...

4、Nanotechnology in fertilizers

This can be achieved by preventing nutrients from interacting with soil, water and microorganisms, and releasing nutrients only when they can be directly internalized by the plant.

5、Synthesis of a starch derivative and its application in fertilizer for slow nutrient release and water

The experimental data indicated that the products based on starch derivatives as coating materials have preferable slow-release performance and the introduction of the natural polymers can improve biomass utilization efficiency, reduce nutrient loss and improve water use efficiency.

Importance of Green Technology in Fertilizer Quality Improvement

These products are more harmful than providing advantages to fertilizer and fertilizer users. Products like Fuel oil, Mineral Oil, Paraffin Wax are being used with fertilizer for it to remain free flowing and dust free. These coatings are not efficient, and also affect the soil in negative sense.

Water

Swelling behaviors of the superabsorbent were investigated in distilled water and various soil and salt solutions. The water-release kinetics of SA in different negative pressures and soils were systematically investigated.

Urea: A Low Cost Nitrogen Fertilizer with Special Management R

Since urea is completely water soluble, when applied to the soil surface it can be moved down with irrigation water or rainfall, if one or the other occurs immediately after fertilization.

Purification and rapid dissolution of potassium sulfate in aqueous solutions

Water soluble potassium sulfate dissolves rapidly and completely in water. Its main characteristics are purity and dissolution rate.

Fertilizer

Fertilizer (FAO, 2019): refers to a chemical or natural substance or material that is used to provide nutrients to plants, usually via application to the soil, but also to foliage or through water in rice systems, fertigation or hydroponics or aquaculture operations. Thus, multiple nutrient types and sources are considered and include: chemical and mineral fertilizers; organic fertilizers such ...

Specialized green vine fertilizer typically refers to nutrients formulated for indoor foliage plants, such as the climbing species Epipremnum aureum (commonly known as "green vine" or "devil's ivy"). These fertilizers often contain elevated levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and other trace elements to promote growth and enhance ornamental value. Due to their specialized formulation, they differ from general-purpose chemical fertilizers in composition and properties.

1. Components of Specialized Green Vine Fertilizer

To understand its solubility, it is essential to review the core ingredients:

• Nitrogen (N): Stimulates leaf growth and intensifies green color.
• Phosphorus (P): Supports root development and flowering (if applicable).
• Potassium (K): Enhances disease resistance and overall vitality.
• Trace Elements: Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), etc., which contribute to holistic plant health.

2. Solubility Characteristics

a. Water-Soluble Formulations

Some fertilizers are designed with organic compounds like urea or potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which dissolve readily in water. These can be diluted directly for efficient absorption by plants.

b. Non-Water-Soluble Formulations

Other formulations, such as granular solids, may contain inorganic salts like ammonium phosphate or potassium nitrate, which require grinding or extended mixing to dissolve effectively.

3. Dissolution Process in Water

a. Dissolution Rate

The speed at which the fertilizer dissolves depends on its type and concentration. Higher-concentration formulas dissolve faster, while diluted solutions may take longer.

b. Solubility Variations

• Organic Compounds (e.g., urea): Highly water-soluble.
• Inorganic Salts: Less soluble and may require stirring or pre-dilution.

c. Factors Affecting Dissolution

• Temperature: Warmer water accelerates dissolution.
• pH Levels: Neutral or near-neutral conditions optimize solubility.
• Light Exposure: UV light may degrade certain components, aiding breakdown.
• Agitation: Stirring increases contact between fertilizer and water, improving efficiency.

4. Application Guidelines

• Dilution Ratio: Follow packaging instructions (typically 1:100–1:200).
• Timing: Apply in early morning or evening to avoid foliar burn from midday heat.
• Dosage: Adjust based on plant size and health; over-fertilizing risks nutrient imbalance.
• Methods:
  • Direct application around roots.
  • Pre-dissolve fertilizer in water for irrigation.

5. Key Precautions

• Avoid Overuse: Excess fertilizer wastes resources and disrupts growth.
• Monitor Plant Response: Discontinue use if yellowing, wilting, or other stress symptoms appear, and consult a specialist.
• Supplement Wisely: Combine with other micronutrients (e.g., iron, manganese) for comprehensive care.

Specialized green vine fertilizer can dissolve in water, but its efficacy and dissolution rate depend on formulation, environmental conditions, and application methods. Always read product labels and tailor usage to the plant’s specific needs.
