A better way forward is the use of nanofertilizers to focus on macro elements (N, P, K), as switching to nanofertilizers may result in large environmental benefits by replacing the majority of these nutrients. Furthermore, the biosynthesis of nanomaterials using bacteria, algae, yeast, fungus, actinomycetes, and plants has opened up a new avenue of research in the production of inorganic nanoparticles as ecologically friendly fertilizers. Nanofertilizers should also attain increased efficiency because of a several-fold increase in the surface-to-volume ratio of nano-forms of nutrients and their suitability for foliar application, where environmental losses are further reduced. Nanostructured fertilizers can also improve nutrient use efficiency through strategies such as targeted distribution and progressive or controlled-release as they can precisely release their active molecules in response to environmental cues and biological demands. Recent research shows nanofertilizers can increase agricultural productivity by speeding up seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthetic activity, nitrogen metabolism, and carbohydrate and protein synthesis. The potential agricultural benefits of nanofertilizers, their modes of action, and the fate of nanomaterials in soil are all discussed in this book. It also covers nanofertilizer formulation and delivery, applications, uptake, translocation, and their fate in plants, as well as their impact on plant physiology and metabolism. Nutrient nanoformulation is a valuable method that has the potential to alter the agricultural sector and provide solutions to current and future concerns for sustainable and climate-sensitive crops. 410 0$aNanotechnology in the Life Sciences,$x2523-8035 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aNanobiotechnology 606 $aPlant diseases 606 $aAgricultural genome mapping 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aNanobiotechnology 606 $aPlant Pathology 606 $aAgricultural Genetics 606 $aPlant Physiology 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aNanobiotechnology. 615 0$aPlant diseases. 615 0$aAgricultural genome mapping. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 14$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aNanobiotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Pathology. 615 24$aAgricultural Genetics. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 676 $a631.8 676 $a631.8 701 $aAbd-Elsalam$b Kamel A.$f1969-$01263978 701 $aAlghuthaymi$b Mousa A$01450646 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910766885003321 996 $aNanofertilizers for Sustainable Agroecosystems$93650119 997 $aUNINA
