摘要

Fertilizers play a crucial role in enhancing soil fertility and providing essential nutrients for plant growth and productivity, making them indispensable in agriculture. The excessive use of chemical fertilizers has led to significant environmental pollution and decreased nutrient efficiency. The increasing global population, predicted to reach approximately 10 billion by 2050, necessitates higher agricultural productivity, which is challenged by soil and water resource degradation and climate change. This has led to a call for more sustainable agricultural practices. Precision agriculture is a modern approach that uses data and technology to optimize resource use, improve crop management, and ensure environmental stability. Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative tool in precision agriculture, particularly through the development of nano fertilizers. These fertilizers, made of nanoparticles, offer enhanced nutrient delivery and efficiency compared to conventional fertilizers. Nano fertilizers are characterized by their high surface area and controlled release properties, ensuring sustained nutrient availability, and reducing environmental pollution. They can be classified based on their composition and application method, such as foliar application, seed nano priming and soil treatment. Research shows that nano fertilizers improve plant growth, yield, nutritional quality and stress resistance by enhancing nutrient uptake and utilization. Various types of nano fertilizers, including nano encapsulated, nanostructured, and nanocoated fertilizers, are being developed to address specific agricultural requirements. These innovative fertilizers deliver nutrients precisely, minimize losses, and support sustainable agriculture.
