In an alarming tale of agricultural excess, the relentless overuse chemical fertilizers in modern farming methods have wreaked havoc on once-fertile soil, mercilessly depleting its vital nutrients while inflicting irreparable harm delicate balance surrounding ecosystem. The excessive use such leaves residue products, pollutes environment, upsets agrarian ecosystems, and lowers soil quality. Furthermore, a significant proportion nutrient content, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, is lost from (50–70%) before being utilized. Nanofertilizers, other hand, nanoparticles to control release nutrients, making them more efficient cost-effective than traditional fertilizers. Nanofertilizers comprise one or plant within where at least 50% particles are smaller 100 nanometers. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, quantum dots some examples types nanomaterials used production nanofertilizers. new generation that utilize advanced nanotechnology provide sustainable method fertilizing crops. They designed deliver controlled manner, ensuring gradually released over extended period, thus providing steady supply essential elements plants. controlled-release system fertilizers, as it reduces need for frequent application amount fertilizer. These high surface area-to-volume ratio, ideal holding releasing nutrients. Naturally occurring found various sources, volcanic ash, ocean, biological matter viruses dust. However, regarding large-scale production, relying solely naturally may not be sufficient practical. agriculture, has been primarily increase crop minimizing losses activating defense mechanisms against pests, insects, environmental challenges. nanofertilizers can reduce runoff leaching into improving sustainability. also improve fertilizer efficiency, leading higher yields reducing overall cost application. especially beneficial areas inefficient ineffective. way fertilize crops impact product promising technology help meet increasing demand food Currently, face limitations, costs potential safety concerns due nanomaterials, further research needed fully understand their long-term effects health, growth, environment.
