Abstract
The control of plant’s optimal nutrition for long-term crop quality and productivity is one of the top areas of agricultural research emphasis. A new trend of the industry embraces the use of nano-fertilizers that increase the agricultural output and leads to the bio-fortification of the crops. Different nano-carriers have been reported in the literature that is being utilized for transferring the nutrients to plants more effectively than their conventional way of applications. In various ways, these nano-carriers increase the availability of both micro- and macronutrients for plants along with their own supportive behavior for the soil and crops. The present study is designed to present a comprehensive overview of novel developing strategies that are increasing nutrient availability for crops, including their effects on crop growth, yield, and fortification; their required concentration and application rate; their mechanism of action; unfavorable outcomes; and research gaps. The article is concluded with remarks on the future opportunities of the presented work.
