The world is facing immense challenges in terms of food security, due to the combined impacts ever-increasing population and adversity climate change. In an attempt counteract these factors, smart nutrient delivery systems, including nano-fertilizers, additives, material coatings, have been introduced increase productivity meet growing demand. Use nanocarriers agro-practices for sustainable far...

This chapter provides information on some recent developments of fertilizer production and use that improve nutrient efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The nutrients discussed are mainly N, P, and S. Improving N nutrient efficiency includes use of (1) controlled-release coated urea products, (2) slowrelease urea–aldehyde polymer products, (3) urea supergranules for deep placement, (4...

Tracking information about fertilizers consumption in the world is very important since they are used to produce agriculture commodities. Brazil consumes a large amount of fertilizers due to its large-scale agriculture fields. Most of these fertilizers are currently imported. The analysis of consumption of major fertilizers, such as Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium (NPK), Sulfur, Phosphate Rock, P...

Nano fertilizers are new products which contain readily available nutrients in the nano scale range and are preferred largely due to their efficiency. This research was conducted to assessment the effect of nano chelated of micro nutrient on agronomic traits of Cowpea via factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications during 2016 seasonal year. The treatme...

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 it...

Nanotechnology fertilizers are associated with objects measuring 1 nm to 100 capable of controlling or manipulating at an atomic scale. Phosphorus is one the essential nutrients needed by plants in large amounts. Maize a strategic commodity requiring optimal nutrients. Inceptisol soil that has relatively low fertility and chemical properties. The addition P plays important role improving qualit...

Abstract The research aims to evaluate the response of rice plant fertilization with NPK, NPK Organic fertilizers and spraying nano-vanadium nano-selenium in some growth yield indicators (Anber 33 cultivar).A field study was conducted Al-Tali’a district (41 - Al-Hussainiya, south Hilla city) Babylon province Iraq, for period from 15/6/2021 26/11/2021.The experiment according a randomized comple...

The present investigation deals with the role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and chemical fertilizers alone or in combination on urease, invertase and phosphatase activities of rhizospheric soil and also on general impact on growth of safflower cvv. Thori and Saif-32. The PGPR (Azospirillum brasilense and Azotobacter vinelandii) were applied at 10cells/mL as seed inoculation prior to s...
