Project Description


In the interface of soil and fertilizer, the concentrations of nutrients are several times of that in soil bulk, resulting in the strong and special reactions between nutrients or nutrients and soil fractions. It’s of great significance to study the transformation, transference, and reactions of nutrients in this micro-zone which named “fertisphere”, to better understand the effect of nutrients reaction on the enhancement of fertilizer use efficiency, and the design of new fertilizer products.
