Biodegradable dual-crosslinked chitosan/oxidized starch for slow-release urea with water retention

Low fertilizer utilization efficiency, water scarcity, and the non-degradability of synthetic polymer matrices necessitate sustainable alternatives in agriculture. This study proposes a fully biomass-based, dual-crosslinked chitosan/oxidized starch (CS/OS) hydrogel for controllab...
