Fabrication of Zinc Nano Fertilizer on Growth Parameter of Rice

Zinc deficiency is a widely occurring constraint for rice production and for human nutrition. Scarcity of water is leading to a shift from flooded to aerobic rice production, which can have an impact on Zndeficiency in rice. Inorder to improve the Zn use efficiency by crops, a laboratory study was undertaken at the Department of Nano Science & Technology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India. The application of zinc nano fertilizer had significantly increasing plant height and root length. The study was carried out with five treatments in completely randomized block design and replicated in four times. Finally, this study concluded that zinc loaded nano fertilizer release nutrients slowly and steadily during critical growth period thereby improved growth of rice.
