Evaluation of coated urea for the effects of coating on the physical and chemical properties of urea fertilizer

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biodegradable material and micronutrient coatings on the physical and chemical character of urea fertilizer. Six treatments were prepared by coating urea with agar, gelatine, palm stearin, CuSO4 and Zn SO4. Both micronutrients were used as urea...
