Nano-Fertilizers A Cutting Edge Approach for Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Nida Tabassum Khan

Nanostructured fertilizers or nano-fertilizers are in the form of nanocarriers, nanocapsules or nanonutrients that should be considered as smart fertilizers that can improve plant nutrient utilization efficiency, control nutrient release and reduce environmental impact. However, there is an urgent need to standardize and evaluate the toxicity of nanomaterials used in the synthesis of nano-fertilizers. Therefore, detailed agricultural field and greenhouse surveys are highly recommended for performance evaluation of nano-fertilizers.
