The present invention discloses a highly efficient and environment-friendly reactive extrusion integrated continuous preparation process for a biodegradable polymeric multi-nutrient elements nano slow/controlled-release fertilizer and a biodegradable polymeric multi-nutrient elements nano slow/controlled-release fertilizer prepared by the process consisting of urea-formaldehyde macromolecular chains and nano-phosphate. Firstly preparing a methylolurea solution, and then feeding the same into a reactive extrusion integrated machine, adding a phosphate, starting the reaction unit of the reactive extrusion integrated machine to carry out the reaction, and simultaneously starting the vacuumizing devolatilization apparatus to remove moisture from the reaction system; after completing the reaction, starting the extrusion unit of the reactive extrusion integrated machine, extruding to obtain a strip-shaped product, and drying and granulating the same to obtain a finished product. The present invention can achieve forced discharge of the output end of the reaction unit by integrating the extrusion unit and the reaction unit, thereby realizing continuous production of the biodegradable polymeric multi-nutrient nano slow/controlled-release fertilizer. The biodegradable polymeric multi-nutrient nano slow/controlled-release fertilizer prepared by the present invention is firmly bonded between macromolecular chains of urea-formaldehyde through hydrogen bonding, which could impart excellent slow-release performances to nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other medium and trace elements; thereby the nutrient use efficiency of the fertilizer is greatly improved.
