Abstract: A controlled release N fertilizer was developed by the carrier method using natural polysaccharides （PS） and urea. The results showed that mixing of PS and urea led to significant control of urea release. When a cross-linker （boric acid or glutaraldehyde） was added, a better control effect was observed. During a 30 min leaching time the nitrogen release rate from the controlled release fertilizer was nearly constant, which was significantly different from normal urea. One of the controlled release mechanisms was related to space resistance from a large molecular structure. Infrared （IR） analysis indicated that interaction of PS with urea was through a hydrogen bond or a covalent bond. These bonds created an a-helix or high molecular network fertilizer carrier system, which was another reason for a controlled nutrient release. Pot experiment showed that nitrogen use efficiency could increase significantly with a carrier fertilizer.
