Abstract Nanosized fertilizers are the new frontier of nanotechnology towards a sustainable agriculture. Here, an efficient N-nanofertilizer is obtained by post-synthetic modification (PSM) nitrate-doped amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles (NPs) with urea. The unwasteful PSM protocol leads to N-payloads as large 8.1 w/w%, well replicated using inexpensive technical-grade reagents for cost-effective up-scaling and moderately favours urea release slowdown. Using approach, N amount ca. 3 times larger than that in equivalent one-pot synthesis where nitrate jointly added during NPs preparation. In vivo tests on cucumber plants hydroponic conditions show N-doped ACP NPs, half absolute N-content conventional treatment, promote formation root shoot biomass, without nitrogen depletion. high use efficiency (up 69%) preparation method support real usage nanofertilizer.

Nitrogen (N) is the most critical element limiting agricultural production at a global scale. Despite many efforts, N use efficiency (NUE) in agriculture remains range of less than 50%. Reaching targeted crop yields has resulted overuse, which an economic and environmental concern worldwide. The continuous exploration innovative solutions led to synthesis novel nanomaterials, resulting powerful tool for development new technological products. Nanofertilizers are one promising engineered materials that being tested, either soil or foliar applications. Encouraging results have been obtained using nanofertilizers different plant species, however, limited information reported about its grasslands. Commonly, applied grassland soils as granular fertilizers, may result significant losses via surface runoff leaching, ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization oxides (N 2 O, NO, NO x emissions. expected increase NUE by improving effectiveness delivery plants reducing environment. Information on grasslands species scarce application strategies can be used avoid poorly understood.
