Maximizing Crop Yield with Macro and Micro Nano Enhanced Fertilizers

Currently, one of the extensively emerging fields is nanotechnology. Since agriculture is one of India's primary industries, it is possible to solve many labor-intensive problems with the advancement of automation. In light of the population's sharp increase in demand, action must be taken. The challenges facing agriculture may be caused by various elements that reduce crop productivity. To prevail over these setbacks, nanotechnology plays an imperative role. Due to their excellent capacity to improve nutrient use efficiency, nanofertilizers (NFs) are advantageous in the management of nutrition. In contrast to typical fertilizers, nutrients applied alone or in combination are bonded to nano-dimensional adsorption materials, which transfer nutrients very gradually. Nanofertilizers, with high levels of macronutrients, are essential for conventional farming methods. Macro- and micronutrients are essential for plant growth and development. This chapter briefs a thorough initiative on the introduction to macro-nanofertilizers like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, and micro-nanofertilizers like iron, copper, zinc, manganese, boron, molybdenum, silicon, and nickel as well as their synthesis, characterization methods, and potential applications as nanofertilizers in the agricultural sector.
