Nano-Fertilizer Synthesis and Types?discusses the production of a
variety of nano-fertilizers, including biological, chemical, and
mechanical types. Nano-fertilizers aid in nutrition control by
increasing nutrient consumption efficiency as nutrients are bonded
to nano-dimensional adsorbents, which in turn release nutrients
considerably more slowly than traditional fertilizers. As the
nano-fertilizer sector advances, one approach is to concentrate on
macro elements (N, P, K), as switching to nano-fertilizers may
result in significant environmental benefits by replacing the
majority of these nutrients. Furthermore, the biosynthesis of
nanomaterials employing bacteria, algae, yeast, fungus,
actinomycetes, and plants has opened up a new field of study for
the creation of inorganic nanoparticles as environmentally benign
fertilizers. Because of the several-fold increase in the
surface-to-volume ratio of nano-forms of nutrients, and their
appropriateness for foliar application, where environmental losses
are further decreased, nano-fertilizers may achieve higher
efficiency. However, before nano-fertilizers are manufactured and
commercialized, further research should be conducted to assess
their impact for both humans and the environment. While
there are some nano-fertilizer products available, the
nano-fertilizer production industry still requires additional
public and private sector support and development. Nano-Fertilizers
Synthesis and Types presents the latest information, highlights the
benefits and impacts of each, and provides a single-volume resource
to help effectively and efficiently identify options based on
use-case. Exploring the topic from the various mechanistic types to
the relevant regulatory, safety, and economic aspects, this volume
will be appropriate for those working with and researching new
nano-fertilizers.
