    The document describes different polymers that were used to create hydrogels for controlled release of nutrients including nitrate, phosphorus, and potassium over various periods of time. Polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked with glutaraldehyde released the highest percentages of nitrate and phosphorus, up to 83.9% and 75% respectively, over 30 days. Starch crosslinked with formaldehyde and sodium tripolyphosphate released 62.85% of phosphorus over 15 days.
