Overview on Recent Developments in the Design, Application, and Impacts of Nanofertilizers in Agriculture

Nutrient management is always a great concern for better crop production. The optimized use of nutrients plays key role in sustainable production, which major global challenge as it depends mainly on synthetic fertilizers. A novel fertilizer approach required that can boost agricultural system production while being more ecologically friendly than As nanotechnology has left no field untouched, including agriculture, by its scientific innovations. nanofertilizers agriculture the early stage development, but they appear to have significant potential different ways, such increased nutrient-use efficiency, slow release prevent nutrient loss, targeted delivery, improved abiotic stress tolerance, etc. This review summarizes current knowledge various developments design and formulation nanoparticles used nanofertilizers, their types, mode application, impacts crops. main emphasis given benefits we highlight limitations future challenges related wide-scale application before applications. In particular, unprecedent these nanomaterials into environment may jeopardize human health ecosystem. green revolution occurred, food grains at cost disproportionate fertilizers pesticides, severely damaged our We need make sure reduces environmental damage, rather increasing it. Therefore, studies should also check risks associated with if there are any; moreover, focus manufactured biosynthesized well safety, bioavailability, toxicity issues, safeguard environments.
