The efficient use of

nanomaterials may reduce the
negative environmental impact
of conventional agricultural
practices. In recent laboratory
analyses, it has been reported
that nano fertilizers can
improve crop productivity by
enhancing the rate of seed
germination, seedling growth
and photosynthetic activity.
