information on the use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers in dryland production systems. However, a significant significant research gap persists regarding these fertilizers. Other barriers to adoption include costs, uncertainty the environmental tradeoffs of polymer-coated fertilizers. Addressing these uncertainties is crucial for yield benefits and concerns about polymer-coated fertilizers and environmental tradeoffs. At the current carbon price of $95/tonne, offsets from polymer-coated fertilizers yield only $7/tonne, resulting in a net revenue
