The present application relates to a system for providing nutrients to plantlets, the system comprising: a water controlling agent, an organic waste material, a seed germination enhancer, a binding material. The water controlling agent may be a super absorbent polymer. The organic waste material may be worm casting. The seed germination enhancer may be selected from a group consisting of GA3, GA 4+7, and a combination thereof. The ratio of the water controlling agent to the organic waste material may be between about 1:1 and about 1:6.

There is provided a nitrogen fertilizer granule in which the nitrogen release can be timed and the nitrogen release rate can be controlled according to the needs of the plants to be fertilized. The smart release nitrogen-containing fertilizer granule comprises a nitrogen-containing fertilizer core; an organic functional layer covering the core, wherein the organic functional layer comprises at least one functional organic compound that is an enzyme inhibitor, a microbial suppressor, a phosphorus solubilizer, and/or a plant hormone; a controlled release layer covering the organic functional layer, wherein the controlled release layer comprises water-swellable copolymeric nanoparticles; and an anticaking layer covering the controlled release layer, wherein the anticaking layer comprises water-insoluble copolymeric nanoparticles.

The fertilizers derived from date syrup may include date sugar acids chelated to at least one metal ion useful for promoting plant growth. The date acids may be synthesized from waste or non-consumable dates. The fertilizers derived from date syrup may be synthesized by extracting date syrup from dried dates, oxidizing the date syrup to obtain date acids, and chelating the date acids to at least one metal ion. The at least one metal ion may be selected from the group consisting of potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, and a combination thereof.
