Coco peat-grafted-poly(acrylic acid)/NPK [CP-g-P(AAc)/NPK] slow release fertilizer hydrogel (SRFH) was prepared by grafting coco peat fiber onto acrylic acid in the presence of NPK 15–15-15 fertilizer using in-situ solution polymerization technique. Commercial super absorbance polymer (CSAP) was use...
