The invention relates to the technical field of soil improvement, and discloses a preparation method of an intelligent controlled-release
fertilizer using water to drive an iron switch. The slow / controlled-release
fertilizer is of a core-shell structure, the core of the slow / controlled-release
fertilizer is a porous carrier loaded with
nutrient elements, and the
core shell of the slow / controlled-release fertilizer is an iron mineral film layer. According to the slow / controlled-release fertilizer provided by the invention, the
nutrient elements are loaded on the porous carrier, then the carrier is coated with the iron mineral film layer, and the slow / controlled-release fertilizer can be combined with soil
moisture conditions to induce soil microorganisms to change the pore size of the iron mineral film layer on the surface of a material, so that the release rate of the
nutrient elements is regulated and controlled, and the efficient utilization of the nutrient elements is promoted; meanwhile, the porous carrier has the effects of keeping soil
moisture and increasing soil pores, so that the sustained and
controlled release fertilizer can also optimize the
soil structure and enhance the air permeability and
water retention of the soil; the slow / controlled-release fertilizer has the advantages of easily available raw materials, low cost, environmental friendliness, simple preparation method, low
energy consumption and no generation of
solid waste, and is suitable for popularization and application.
