Global enhancement of crop yield is achieved using chemical fertilizers; however, agroeconomy is affected due to poor nutrient uptake efficacy (NUE), which also causes environmental pollution. Encapsulating urea granules with hydrophobic material can be one solution. Additionally, the inverse vulcan...
