Abstract:Concern for environmental quality has increased in society because industrial and technological development has released high levels of contaminants into the environment, such as hydrocarbons. A technique widely used for bioremediation is biostimulation, which may be enhanced by microencapsulation. This research formulated slow-release nitrogen and phosphorus compounds using different polymer (Alginate/Capsul®, carboxymethyl cellulose) matrices and compared them with the agricultural product Osmocote® and mine… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
