Nanotechnology is increasingly being integrated into modern industrial applications, including the development of next-generation nanofertilizers (NFs) containing essential and non-essential elements such as zinc and silica. These NFs often intensify yield forming attributes without compromising the final crop quality. Larger knowledge about NFs application is still lacking in agronomic academic literature. It is particularly relevant for soybean cultivation, given its importance in human nutrition, feed industry ...

In contemporary agricultural practice, ensuring sufficient bioavailable macronutrients, particularly phosphorus, for plants in phosphorus-deficient soils remains a significant challenge. As a promising alternative, the application of phosphate-calcium-based nanofertilizers (NFs), with or without zinc, emerges as a suitable solution, offering targeted effects through foliar dispersion. However, current knowledge gaps persist regarding the development and colloidal properties of applied NFs and their impact on sunfl...
