Background:

Starch is a renewable resource with potential for sustainable agriculture applications.
Controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) enhance nutrient use efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Developing effective and eco-friendly CRFs is crucial for modern agriculture.

Purpose of the Study:

To review methods for producing starch-based controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs).
To discuss the mechanisms governing nutrient release from starch-based CRFs.
To highlight the environmental and resource efficiency benefits of starch-based CRFs.

Main Methods:

Coating agricultural nutrients with starch.
Chemical modification of starch to improve nutrient interaction.
Grafting starch with other polymers to create composite materials.
Absorption of nutrients into starch matrices.

Main Results:

Starch-based CRFs can be produced via coating, chemical modification, and grafting.
Various mechanisms control nutrient release, influenced by starch properties and formulation.
Starch-based CRFs offer potential for improved nutrient delivery and reduced environmental pollution.

Conclusions:

Starch is a versatile and sustainable material for developing effective CRFs.
Starch-based CRFs contribute to resource efficiency and environmental protection in agriculture.
Further research into starch modification and formulation can optimize CRF performance.
