Abstract

Nanofertilizers are a modern technology that improves the quality of agricultural production, increases and supports it biologically, and supports its environmental safety and financial stability, to overcome the obstacles of traditional agriculture, nanotechnology is considered a solution. Nanofertilizers are essential to reduce the damaging environmental effects resulting from Chemical fertilizers used. Nanofertilizers can penetrate the epidermis and are more reactive, allowing for controlled release, thus reducing nutrient excess, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, and increasing targeted distribution. Nanofertilizers it is used to increase soil fertility, increase plant efficiency in absorbing nutrients, increasing the efficiency of nutrients. To overcome the negative effects of traditional chemical fertilizers, nanofertilizers(NFs) are used as they are an excellent alternative. The effectiveness of NFs in terms of environmental sustainability has been proven on bulk chemical fertilizers as well as increasing crop productivity as it provides intelligent delivery of nutrients to plants. Depending on the properties of NFs and their application methods, plants can absorb it through the roots or leaves of trees. NFs reduce production costs, and environmental environmental impacts harmful, and enhance the plant’s ability to withstand biotic and abiotic stress. However, the overuse of NFs is a source of concern in various plants due to the addition of excessive doses, due to the Phytotoxicity as it may harm plant environment and growth. The main difficulties facing NFs manufacturers are non-toxicity, cost, recycling, and the ability to recover them after use and decompose them biologically
