Innovations in the fertilizers world: new horizons for agriculture

The prospects for the use of slow-release fertilizers (SRF), methods and technologies for their production are considered. There is growing interest in SRFs around the world due to their key role in increasing crop yields and improving soil quality. Scientists are actively working to obtain technologies for the production of SRFs to increase their efficiency and durability. In Russia, this sector has also demonstrated stable growth, especially in the context of a rapidly changing climate and increased requirements for environmental safety. Despite the positive trends, there are problems of high production costs and difficulties in disseminating and implementing innovative solutions. For the development of more efficient and environmentally sustainable mineral fertilizers, including SRF, requires active attention from government and private investors, as well as close cooperation between academia and industry.
