Controlled Release Fertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture provides a comprehensive examination of precision fertilizer applications using the 4-R approach-the right amount of fertilizer at the right time to the right plant at the correct stage of plant growth. This volume consolidates detailed information on each aspect of controlled release fertilizers, including up-to-date literature citations, the current market for controlled release fertilizers and patents. Presenting the tremendous advances in experimental and theoretical studies on sustainable agriculture and related areas, this book provides in-depth insight into state-of-the-art controlled release mechanisms of fertilizers, techniques, and their use in sustainable agriculture.
Conventional release mechanisms have historically meant waste of fertilizers and the adverse effects of that waste on the environment. Controlled release delivery makes significant strides in enhancing fertilizer benefit to the target plant, while protecting the surrounding environment and increasing sustainability.

Autoren-Porträt
F.b. Lewu received his PhD in Botany with specialization in plant genetic conservation and propagation. Joining the Department of Agriculture, University of Zululand, South Africa as a Lecturer in 2008 he was appointed acting HOD, of the department in 2009; a position he held till end of May 2011, when he joined the Cape Peninsula University of Technology as HOD of Agriculture Department in the Faculty of Applied Sciences in 2011. Appointed Associate Professor in 2014 and obtaining C Rating of National Research Foundation (NRF C3 Rated Scholar) of South Africa during the same year, he is a qualified Professional Natural Scientist. His latest research interest is focused on the influence of nanomaterials and chemical elicitors on the efficacy of medicinal species and their ameliorating effects on biochemicals of screened materials through different propagation and screening methods.
