Nutrient use efficiency through nano fertilizers
Author(s): Nitumoni Mahanta, Ashok Dambale and Montrishna Rajkhowa
Abstract: Nutrient use efficiency is one of the most important concepts for evaluating crop production systems, which can be highly influenced by various factors such as fertilizer management and soil and plant-water relationships. Improving the nutrient use efficiency has been listed among todays most critical and formidable research issues. The nutrients are used with an objective of increasing the overall performance of crops and cropping systems by providing optimum nourishment and supporting sustainable agricultural production systems through contributions to soil fertility and other important soil quality components. The higher mobility of the Nano-particles lead to transport of the Nano formulated nutrients to all parts of the plants. Due to a high surface area to volume ratio, the effectiveness of Nano-fertilizers becomes superior to the most innovative modern conventional fertilizers. The plant nutrients encapsulated in Nano-particles also increases availability of the nutrient elements and thus uptake to the crop plants.
