Bio-based slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) have drawn significant attention because their applications for crop production can improve nutrient utilization efficiency as well prevent environmental pollution. However, current commercial SRFs still exhibit uncontrollable release patterns, use a large quantity of synthetic coating materials, and are unable to adapt complex soil conditions (e.g., arid soil). In this study, double-layer SRF was formulated from low-cost lignin–clay nanohybrid...
