Nanofertilisers | Is the transformed formulation of conventional fertilizer using nanotechnology. Nanoscale or nanostructured materials act as fertilizer carriers to enable controlled-release, enhanced solubility and enhanced nutrient use efficiency. In contrast to the convential fertilizer the soil impact is believed to be reduced by nano based fertilisers. One representative already in use is nitrogen containing zeolite.
