Description:	This study was a comparative analysis of plant growth in greenhouse using nanostructured materials that can reduce the rate of urea dissolution, leading to a controlled release and increased plant growth in relation to commercial urea. All compositions studied contained a polymer matrix and montmorillonite clay modified with adsorbed urea. The growth was characterized through tests carried in a greenhouse. The best systems observed were those containing polymers in the formulations. It follows that all composites evaluated demonstrated control of fertilizer release and differential plant growth relative to commercial fertilizer.
