Hydrogels with self-irrigation and slow‑fertilizer-release properties for sustainable agriculture
Background Water scarcity and inefficient fertilizer use have long hindered sustainable agriculture, as traditional irrigation and nutrient delivery methods often fail to optimize resource utilization and prevent environmental harm. Existing approaches typically provide static solutions that do not account for fluctu­ation in environmental conditions,...
