In order to explore the controlled release properties of coating- agent, the author carried outpretreatment of the samples referring to the national standard GB/T 8572-2001 and measured N, P, K contentin the samples. The initial release rate, differential release rate and cumulative release rate of coated fertilizernutrients were detected. The results showed that the initial release rates of N, P, K in the coated fertilizer wereless than 15%, and the initial release rate of N was greater than that of P and K. Compared to the uncoatedfertilizer, the initial release rates of N, P and K of the co...
