A Review: Nanofertilizers for the Biofortification and Sustainable Agriculture

Improving nutritional efficiency (NUE) by endangering environmental quality has been a centralissue for agricultural food production (FPS) programs in order to sustain the growing population.Nanotechnology with nanoscale inputs of nano agri-inputs (NAIPs) alreadyemerged as an important solution address problem low or moderate nutrient utilization withminimal impact. Recently, few new hybrid nanofertilizer (HNF) formulations have beendeveloped biofortification and sustainable agriculture. Urea-modified hydroxyapatite was reported,which is rich source nitrogen, calcium, phosphate. Gehan Amaratunga University ofCambridge stated, “such fertilizers could reduce runoff lead harmful algal blooms waterbodies”. The NAE (N Agronomic use Efficiency) urea-HA nanohybrids 48%, while NAEfor pure urea 18%, at field level. However, these are expensive not shownto be commercially viable up date. nanoparticles such copper, iron, zinc wereincorporated into urea-modified further increase proposed fertilizer.
