Rainfed winter wheat grown in rice paddy suffers from a relatively low yield and severe nitrogen (N) losses. Reduction in N application and/or single use of controlled release N fertilizer (CRNF) have been proposed to address these challenges. A new CRNF, known as nano-FeIII-tannic acid-modified wat...
