Nano Fertilizer: A Boon to Environment-friendly Agriculture

For modern agriculture Food Production Systems (FPS) to feed the expanding population, improving Nutrient Usage Efficiency (NUE) with little environmental risk has become essential. A novel approach problem of poor or falling Use a impact emerged: nanotechnology nanoscale inputs for development Nano Agri-Inputs (NAIPs). The study holds great promise providing intensive long-lasting solutions its pressing problems. Nanotechnology uses small-sized materials called nano particles (1–100 nm), which offer special properties and advantages. Large surface area volume ratio provides chance better more efficient interaction target areas in addition many other In crop production systems sustainability, nano-fertilizers have potential meet plant nutritional needs without reducing yield. These take advantage dynamics area, size, shape, bio-assimilation. Their effectiveness was assessed based on studies conducted several places multiple crops over various seasons, both by research institutes fields progressive farmers spread out 11,000 locations 94 different India. Separate tests bio-efficacy, biosafety, toxicity, compatibility been nano-nitrogen, nano-zinc, nano-copper.
