Spectroscopic Study of Eco-Friendly Slow Release Micronutrient Delivery System

For optimum plant growth, micronutrients are just as important as macronutrients. These micronutrients are present in the soil naturally, but because they are not phytoavailable, a way must be found to make them accessible to plants from the outside. The highest quantity of nutrients supplied directly to plant systems leaches off, causing soil toxicity rather than fortification, which is another significant difficulty. Therefore, one of the main considerations is the introduction of a carrier material to improve the availability of the additional nutritional molecules. To carry the copper micronutrients for a slow release study, nano-zeolite was used in the design of the current study as a support material. FT-IR spectroscopy is used to establish the synthesis of nano-zeolite (NZ) and the loaded nutrient NZ (LNZ). And using UV–Visible spectroscopy as a foundation, the gradual release study of the nutrient particles is created. As a result, the plant will have access to the doped nutrients for the entirety of the crop culture time, which is great for promoting germination, development, flowering, and fruiting. The findings allow for the safe use of produced LNZ materials as an environmentally friendly fertilizer.
