Which is good nanoparticle that we can use as fertilizer in agriculture and crop improvement ?
Please explain which is good nanoparticle in agriculture.
Most recent answer
Nano zeolite can improve the long-term availability of nutrients and enhance the germination and growth of plants. Carbon nanoparticles such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon dots, and fullerenes, are used for improved seed germination. Some of the other nanoparticles that are used in agriculture are zinc oxide, copper oxide nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles. Silver is the most common nano-material used in products, followed by carbon-based nano-materials and metal oxides such as TiO2. Nanotechnology is going to pave the way for a revolution in materials, information and communication technology, medicine, genetics, etc. Nanotechnology-based agriculturally important nano fertilizers increase agronomic productivity, efficiency, and reduce environmental stress.

@ Yashwant, my experience is all the nanonutrient particles you can use as fertilizer in agriculture provided you strictly follow the recommended doses and use nitrile gloves and musk during spray. Foliar application of nanoparticles to the plants is the most effective way to apply and you may get most effect on relatively immobile nutrients like P , Zn etc.

The major question -when we apply nanofertilizers supplying N and P at 100ppm(100mg/litre) concentration how much nutrient requirement of crop is met through this source and how much benefit the crop get in terms of yield or nutrient uptake?
How much nano N and P fertilizers we can apply through soil?
1 Recommendation
You can go with nano urea or TiO2 nanoparticles, these two are feasible to buy as well as convenient to use. Foliar application is suggested to apply on plants but with specific concentration.

I have used ZnO as foliar application

nanoparticles can play a role in agriculture, enhance plant growth, and could be effective against plant pathogens. On the other hand, metal nanoparticles cannot be degraded by any means, and hence, they could be accused of being delivered to humans and animals via the feeding process. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to check its safety for humans, animals, and the environment
Nano-fertilizers increase crop yield by enhancing the availability of essential nutrients to the plant. Carbon nanoparticles such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon dots and fullerenes are used to improve seed germination. Some other nanoparticles used in agriculture are zinc oxide, copper oxide nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles
A significant increase was found in the yield of millet and cluster bean after applying phosphorous fertilizers in arid conditions. The suspensions of chitosan nanoparticles containing nitrogen, phosphorous and sodium also increased crop production. It has been observed that the carbon nanotubes can enter the hard seed layer of tomato and significantly improve the germination index and plant growth. Similarly, germination increased when soybean and maize seeds were sprayed with multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Various nano treatments are available to enhance the germination index of plants
