 ABSTRACT

These fertilizers play significant role in the crop production up to 35 to 40% of the productivity. Below 50 nm size, the laws of classical physics give way to quantum effects, provoking different optical, electrical and magnetic behaviors. Nano sized active ingredients in fertilizer help to improve nutrient use efficiency and this could be due to their high specific surface area, which facilitates good absorption of the nutrients. The distribution of nano NPK element was found to be uniform and their use efficiency was 97.43 %, 98.11% and 97.03 %, respectively. Nano particles have more, sorption capacity and controlled release delivery at targeted sites as per crop demand. Paddy foliar application of nano cheated iron fertilizer (2.5 g L-1) at nursery and booting stages had the maximum effect on rice quality and quantity parameters. Nutrient content, quality and yield of wheat grains treated with Fe nano fertilizer was found to be significantly increasing up to concentration of 0.9 g L-1its applications will have huge potential to revolutionize agricultural production scenario by allowing better scientific management practices, mitigating issues of chemical fertiliser pollution, conservation of natural mineral reserves and saving on fertilizer import.
