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.

Nanofertilizers: A Cutting-Edge Approach to Increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Grasslands

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 9

Опубликована: Март 19, 2021

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. New scenarios increasing constraints represent opportunity This article reviews potential approach improve reduce wider environment, analyzing shortcomings future considerations animal food chains.

Fertilizers for food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa: An overview of soil health implications

Frontiers in Soil Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 3

Опубликована: Март 16, 2023

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces chronic food insecurity associated with soil degradation and the peculiar aftermath of climate change exacerbated by rising population historically poor agricultural practices. Notably, use mineral fertilizers has potential to counteract in SSA; it drives an increased production required feed while sustaining quality health soils. However, limited financial resources deprive SSA promise fertilizers, wherein application rates are low, regimes characterized unbalanced nutrient composition fertilizer quality. Although current global is generally low efficiency, most affected due already usage available products. About 70% fertilizer-nitrogen lost through unregulated transformation ammonia, nitrous oxide, nitrate that either volatilized or emitted into atmosphere leached water bodies. Similarly, preponderance fertilizer-phosphorus via run-off leaching, unavailing plants overloading streams rivers and, together nitrate, causing eutrophication. These environmental problems accentuated where quantity issues a limiting factor. recent advances happening outside indicate nutrients, when strategically formulated, such as nano packaging, (bio)polymer encapsulation, tunable respond cues, can provide multiple outcomes, particularly, healthy soils higher productivity. Therefore, presumably, proper synthesis gamut properties influencing plant release availability, options for exposure uptake critical realizing these benefits SSA. Despite possibilities, there lack deeper context on fertilizer-related they affect nutrition security This paper provides overview fertilizer-nutrient agronomic, challenges opportunities, which though not exclusive per se, be reasoned peculiarity region. impetus increase improve health, sustainable crop production,
