Nano-fertilizer, conventional fertilizer, sustainable crop production, Environmental pollution, NUEAbstract
Global agricultural systems facing a higher burden to provide food to the ever-growing population. Farmers are using commercial fertilizer intensively to increase production. As a result, a larger quantity of applied fertilizers gets lost through leaching, runoff, gaseous emissions, soil-fixation and so on causing environmental pollution (soil, water and air). Application of nano-fertilizers provides an efficient substitute to traditional fertilizers, which is environmentally sustainable. They supply nutrients more precisely by exploiting plant unavailable nutrients in rhizospheric zone. Application of nano-fertilizer shows a beneficial effect on crop up to a certain level. However, it also has some adverse impact on crop, environment and human health unless it uses in an inappropriate way. In the present investigation, we presented the application of nano fertilizer in agriculture production as the best substitute of commercial fertilizer to have a sustainable environment.
