Effect of Slow-Release Urea on Yield and Quality of .

Slow-release urea, as an environmentally friendly fertiliser, can provide a continuous and uniform supply of nutrients needed by the crop, reduce the amount and frequency of fertiliser application, and promote the uptake and utilisation of nitrogen in crops. The production of is often dominated by the application of quick-acting fertilisers, resulting in serious problems of over-fertilisation, inappropriate periods of fertilisation, eutrophication of soil and water due to fertilisation, and difficulties in applying fertilisers. Therefore, in this study, different amounts (CK, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) of SRU (Slow-release Urea) were first applied, and T3 (18.
