Metal Nanoparticles in Agriculture: A Review of Possible Use

Deterioration of soils over the years has led to a decline in crop yields and nutritional qualities, resulting from oversupply conventional fertilizers, which are unsustainable, costly pose threat environment. Nanoparticles gaining reputation field agriculture for remediation soil degradation sustainable way. Recently, they have been recognized as potential fertilizers with properties that make them more absorbable readily available plant use than their bulk counterpart. However, there is less literature elaborating on nanoparticles agro-inputs nutrition protection. This review, therefore, provides insights into application nanoscaled nutrient elements such silver, zinc, copper, iron, titanium, magnesium calcium fertilizers. In addition, review explains need utilizing green synthesized nanomaterials one ways palliate environmentally toxic chemicals cropping system discusses various benefits nanoparticles, ranging growth stimulation defence against pathogens.
