The invention discloses a double-layer coated slow-release nitrogen fertilizer for improving saline-alkali soil. The nitrogen fertilizer is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 55-70 parts of urea, 22-30 parts of ammonium phosphate, 35-50 parts of acrylic acid, 15-25 parts of wheat straw, a right amount of distilled water, 2-7 parts of potassium hydroxide, 0.5-2 parts of sodium borohydride, 10-16 parts of humic acid, 8-12 parts of anhydrous sodium sulfite, 5-9 parts of formaldehyde solution, 3-7 parts of ammonium persulfate, 1-3 parts of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, 9-16 parts of sodium alginate, a right amount of 5% calcium chloride water solution, 2-4 parts of paraffin, 2-4 parts of furfural residue, 4-10 parts of attapulgite clay, 2-5 parts of dilute sulfuric acid and a right amount of sodium hydroxide solution. According to the invention, the humic acid is modified to enhance the water solubility, and the urea fertilizer effect and the nitrogen utilization ratio are increased, thereby improving the water absorption property, water retention property and salt tolerance of the slow-release fertilizer.
