Abstract
Silica (Si) is a beneficial element for plants because it has many benefits in increasing plant growth and yields. However, the use of silica as fertilizer is currently still very limited, so the use of fertilizer is a major concern given a large number of uses of silica for plants. Today, recent advances in nanotechnology have opened new avenues for plant improvement, wherein plants can derive benefits associated with Si nanoparticles. Several studies have demonstrated the positive effects produced by the utilization of Si nanoparticles. Nanotechnology is expected to be able to answer the challenges of using environmentally friendly fertilizers and high efficiency of nutrient use. The use of nano fertilizers opens up new approaches to precision farming and sustainable agriculture. This paper will discuss the application of silica nanoparticles in plant growth and plant productivity. Nanosilica fertilizer is one of the promising technologies that can be used for precision and sustainable agriculture.
