      abstract     = {Struvite (St) recovered from wastewaters is a sustainable
                      option for phosphorus (P) recovery and fertilization, whose
                      solubility is low in water and high in environments
                      characterized by a low pH, such as acidic soils. To broaden
                      the use of struvite in the field, its application as
                      granules is recommended, and thus the way of application
                      should be optimized to control the solubility. In this study
                      struvite slow-release fertilizers were designed by
                      dispersing St particles (25, 50, and 75 $wt\%)$ in a
                      biodegradable and hydrophilic matrix of thermoplastic starch
                      (TPS). It was shown that, in citric acid solution
                      (pH = 2), TPS promoted a steadier P-release from St
                      compared to the pure St pattern. In a pH neutral sand,
                      P-diffusion from St-TPS fertilizers was slower than from the
                      positive control of triple superphosphate (TSP).
                      Nevertheless, St-TPS featured comparable maize growth (i.e.
                      plant height, leaf area, and biomass) and similar available
                      P as TSP in sand after 42 days of cultivation. These results
                      indicated that St-TPS slow P release could provide enough P
                      for maize in sand, achieving a desirable agronomic
                      efficiency while also reducing P runoff losses in highly
                      permeable soils.},
