Drastic changes in the climate and ecosystem due to natural or anthropogenic activities have severely affected crop production globally. This concern has raised the need to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategies, particularly for keeping pace with the demands of the growing population. The use of nanobiofertilizers in agriculture opens a new chapter in the sustainable production of crops. The application of nanoparticles improves the growth and stress tolerance in plants. Inoculation of biofertilizers is another strategy explored in agriculture. The combination of nanoparticles and biofertilizers produces nanobiofertilizers, which are cost-effective and more potent and eco-friendly than nanoparticles or biofertilizers alone. Nanobiofertilizers consist of biofertilizers encapsulated in nanoparticles. Biofertilizers are the preparations of plant-based carriers having beneficial microbial cells, while nanoparticles are microscopic (1-100 nm) particles that possess numerous advantages. Silicon, zinc, copper, iron, and silver are the commonly used nanoparticles for the formulation of nanobiofertilizer. The green synthesis of these nanoparticles enhances their performance and characteristics. The use of nanobiofertilizers is more effective than other traditional strategies. They also perform their role better than the common salts previously used in agriculture to enhance the production of crops. Nanobiofertilizer gives better and more long-lasting results as compared to traditional chemical fertilizers. It improves the structure and function of soil and the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and yield attributes of plants. The formation and application of nanobiofertilizer is a practical step toward smart fertilizer that enhances growth and augments the yield of crops. The literature on the formulation and application of nanobiofertilizer at the field level is scarce. This product requires attention, as it can reduce the use of chemical fertilizer and make the soil and crops healthy. This review highlights the formulation and application of nanobiofertilizer on various plant species and explains how nanobiofertilizer improves the growth and development of plants. It covers the role and status of nanobiofertilizer in agriculture. The limitations of and future strategies for formulating effective nanobiofertilizer are mentioned.
由于自然或人为活动导致的气候和生态系统的剧烈变化，已严重影响了全球的作物生产。这一问题引发了人们对制定环境友好且经济高效策略的需求，特别是要跟上不断增长的人口需求。农业中纳米生物肥料的使用为作物的可持续生产开启了新篇章。纳米颗粒的应用改善了植物的生长和抗逆性。接种生物肥料是农业中探索的另一种策略。纳米颗粒与生物肥料的结合产生了纳米生物肥料，它比单独的纳米颗粒或生物肥料更具成本效益、效力更强且更环保。纳米生物肥料由包裹在纳米颗粒中的生物肥料组成。生物肥料是以植物为载体的制剂，含有有益微生物细胞，而纳米颗粒是具有众多优势的微观（1 - 100纳米）颗粒。硅、锌、铜、铁和银是用于制备纳米生物肥料的常用纳米颗粒。这些纳米颗粒的绿色合成提高了它们的性能和特性。纳米生物肥料的使用比其他传统策略更有效。它们的作用也比以前农业中用于提高作物产量的普通盐类更好。与传统化学肥料相比，纳米生物肥料能产生更好且更持久的效果。它改善了土壤的结构和功能以及植物的形态、生理、生化和产量属性。纳米生物肥料的形成和应用是迈向智能肥料的实际一步，可促进作物生长并提高产量。关于纳米生物肥料在田间层面的配方和应用的文献很少。这种产品值得关注，因为它可以减少化学肥料的使用并使土壤和作物保持健康。本综述重点介绍了纳米生物肥料在各种植物物种上的配方和应用，并解释了纳米生物肥料如何改善植物的生长和发育。它涵盖了纳米生物肥料在农业中的作用和地位。还提到了有效制备纳米生物肥料的局限性和未来策略。
