Abstract

Agriculture is the most significant and stable economic sector in the world because it both directly and indirectly produces and supplies food for people. The demands of a growing population are beyond the capacity of global agriculture production to meet. The world has experienced varying degrees of food crises at different times. To ensure food security and meet the demands of an expanding population, pressure is being applied to the agriculture sector. Chemical fertilizers are therefore viewed as an essential source of plant nutrition for improving crop yields. Farmers began to believe that applying more chemical fertilizers results in increased crop yield. However, less than half of the fertilizer applied will be absorbed by the crop, with the surplus either leaching into water sources or becoming immobilized in the soil. With innovative nano-technological strategies that enhance precision farming methods, improve plant nutrient absorption, support land and water conservation, boost crop yield, and develop uses for nano-fertilizers (NFs), nanotechnology has enormous potential to improve agricultural practices.
