Nutriseed pack innovation: a sustainable solution to minimize ammonia volatilization across soil types

The growing reliance on nitrogen-based fertilizers to fulfil global food demand has prompted worries about nitrogen losses, notably ammonia volatilization, which leads to environmental degradation and lowers fertilizer efficiency. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a new Nutriseed Pack approach in minimizing ammonia volatilization in different soil types. Fertilizer and manure pellets were encapsulated and tested on sandy (loamy sand), red (sandy clay loam), and hilly soils (sandy loam)
