Implication

Field trials demonstrate controlled-release urea enhances nitrogen use efficiency and reduces environmental impact in maize, suggesting a sustainable farming practice.

Key Points

Controlled-release urea improved nitrogen use efficiency by 37.6% while reducing nitrogen inputs by 12-19%.
Maize yields reached 13.9 Mg ha–1 with controlled-release urea, especially notable with TCU.
Life cycle assessment revealed controlled-release urea reduced nitrogen losses by 47.5% compared to conventional urea.
Controlled-release urea not only boosted yields but also decreased greenhouse gas emissions by 18.7%.
