Performance of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Influenced by the Application of Nano-fertilizers

Abstract

An experiment into the "Performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) on application of nano-fertilizers" was conducted on well-drained sandy soil in response to concerns about food and nutritional security as well as second-generation post-green revolution problems, such as increasing input use with declining efficiency trends, deteriorating soil health, depleting water resources, pollution and narrowing farmer profits. On the wheat variety DBW187 in RBD with three replications, 12 twelve treatments containing control, basal administrations of the required 100% NPK (150:60:40), 75% NPK (112.5:45:30), and Nano N and Nano P in various combinations were tried. The study's findings showed that wheat sprayed with 75% NPK + Nano N and Nano P at 30 and 45 days of growth experienced significantly better growth as evidenced by taller plants (91.23 cm), more tillers per square metre (322.5), higher LAI (0.83), and higher dry matter accumulation per square metre (1532.7), all of which were measured at harvest.
