Examination of the Effectiveness of Controlled Release Fertilizer to Balance Sugarcane Yield and Reduce Nitrate Leaching to Groundwater

Abstract: Groundwater pollution by nitrate leaching from sugarcane fields in Okinawa is recognized as a critical issue. Controlled release fertilizer (CRF) has the potential to reduce N leaching from cropping systems. The study focused on confirming the effectiveness of CRF at balancing sugarcane yield and reducing nitrate leaching from sugarcane fields via a water footprint (WF) approach. A lysimeter study was conducted using four treatments: (i) bare land, (ii) P and K fertilization without N, (iii) urea fertilization… Show more

“…Atmodjo et al (2015), Bhanuvally et al (2017), andLiao et al (2018) found that SNF increased NUE by preventing N loss, higher cane yield, and commercial cane sugar in sugarcane. Rathnappriya et al (2022) demonstrated that controlled released fertilizer reduced N leaching from cropping systems. Hence, based on our study, to design a suitable SNF with better efficiency, it is important to determine N requirements for the crop in the growth stages as well as the remaining N in the soil before cultivation.…”

“…Among those approaches is the use of polymer-coated, controlled released fertilizers (CRFs). Controlled release fertilizers increase plant productivity while mitigating environmental risks caused by N losses from agroecosystems [17][18][19], through reducing leaching [20] and nitrous oxide loss [21,22]. As quick release urea, N is supplied to plants at high localized concentrations [23], resulting in crop toxicity, especially in stages of early crop development [24].…”

“…In addition, the products of this study were introduced to the substrate in a dry form, and thus, the nutrients were released with their dilution while watering the plants, acting as a slow-release fertilizer, reducing the possibility of high leachates (Rathnappriya et al, 2022).…”
