ABSTRACT
One recent development in contemporary agriculture that helps get around the drawbacks of the traditional fertilizer system is nano-fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer, which ranges in size from 1 to 100 nanometers, is incredibly effective at giving plants nutrients. The plant’s nutritional absorption process is consistent and waste is minimal because of their small size, which allows them to enter the tiny hole in the soil and release the nutrient gradually. Nano-fertilizer uses extremely small amounts to guarantee high yields and superior quality. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the nutritional absorbent efficiency of nano-fertilizers is roughly 20–30% higher than that of conventional fertilizers, which results in a discernible increase in crop productivity and growth. Additionally, by lowering the possibility of environmental contamination and preserving the soil’s chemical equilibrium, this technology is crucial to the advancement of sustainable agriculture. The broad use of the nano-fertilizer is not without its difficulties, though. This technology takes time to become widely accepted because of its high production costs, technical complexity, and security issues. There is a need for scientific research, advanced technology and clear policy making to overcome these challenges. This review will be discussed extensively on the scientific basis, procedure, types, benefits, limitations and future prospects of the nano-fertilizer. By applying this technology in modern perfect agriculture and analyzing its potential impact, readers have aimed to provide evidence of a new horizon of sustainable development through nano-fertilizer.
