RESUMO
It explores the potential of advanced fertilizers in improving maize yield and quality while addressing environmental and socioeconomic concerns. Investigating the innovations in fertilizer technologies and their impact on maize cultivation, identifying research gaps and suggesting policy recommendations. The potential of advanced fertilizers for enhancing maize yield and quality while tackling environmental and socioeconomic issues: Advanced fertilizers, marked by enhanced nutrient use efficiency and targeted nutrient delivery, present valuable prospects for sustainable corn farming. This includes progress in fertilizer technologies, combined management strategies, and the effects of these cutting-edge products on corn yield and quality. Additionally, we explore research gaps, areas requiring further study, and policy suggestions to support the adoption of advanced fertilizers in corn production systems. By seizing these opportunities and addressing the related challenges, the global agricultural community can strive for more sustainable, efficient, and productive corn farming practices that contribute to improved food security and nutrition.
RESUMO
The study was carried out in the winter (rabi) season to determine effect of Nano and Non-nano nutrient, the study's findings revealed that wheat grown with 100% NPK + nano nutrients (N + P + K + Zn) had significantly higher uptake, namely N (143.1 kg ha-1), P (28.9 kg ha-1), K (109.0 kg ha-1), and Zn (519.5 g ha-1). Applications of nano nutrients—N, P, K, and Zn, and N + P + K + Zn + 75% NPK—worked synergistically and increased content and uptake over 100% NPK. Similarly, the agronomic efficiency (kg of grain kg-1 of nutrient applied) of N (22.4), P (56.0), and K (84.0) was greatest when 75% NPK + nano N + bio nano P, K, and Zn were applied. In a similar manner, physiological efficiency and partial factor productivity were also found to be significantly higher with the same treatment. Thus, the wheat crop grown with the application of Nano-N + 75 and 100 percent NPK led to higher nutrient content, accumulation, and efficiency.
