In the twenty-first century, nanotechnology has emerged as a potentially game-changing innovation. Essential minerals are mostly unavailable in modern cropping systems without the application of synthetic fertilizers, which have a serious negative impact on the ecosystem. This review focuses on the coupling of nanoparticles with biofertilizers to function as nano-biofertilizers (NBFs), which may ensure world food security in the face of the rising population. The inoculation of plants with NBFs improves plant development and resistance to stress. Metallic nanoparticles as well as organic components comprising polysaccharide and chitosan may be encapsulated, utilizing microbe-based green synthesis to make NBFs, which circumvents the limitations of conventional chemical fertilizers. The application of NBFs is just getting started, and shows more promise than other approaches for changing conventional farming into high-tech "smart" farming. This study used bibliographic analysis using Web of Science to find relevant papers on "nano biofertilizers", "plants", and "agriculture". These subjects have received a lot of attention in the literature, as shown by the co-citation patterns of these publications. The novel use of nanotechnology in agriculture is explored in this research work, which makes use of the unique characteristics of nanoscale materials to address urgent concerns including nutrient delivery, crop protection, and sustainable farming methods. This study attempts to fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge by discussing the formulation, fabrication, and characterization of NBFs, as well as elucidating the mechanisms by which NBFs interact with plants and how this benefits the ability of the plant to withstand biotic and abiotic stress brought about by climate change. This review also addresses recent developments and future directions in farming using NBF formulations in the field.
在21世纪，纳米技术已成为一项可能改变游戏规则的创新技术。在不施用合成肥料的现代种植系统中，必需矿物质大多无法获取，而合成肥料会对生态系统产生严重负面影响。本综述聚焦于纳米颗粒与生物肥料的结合，使其作为纳米生物肥料发挥作用，这或许能在人口不断增长的情况下确保全球粮食安全。用纳米生物肥料接种植物可促进植物生长并增强其抗逆性。金属纳米颗粒以及包含多糖和壳聚糖的有机成分可通过基于微生物的绿色合成法进行封装，以制备纳米生物肥料，这规避了传统化肥的局限性。纳米生物肥料的应用才刚刚起步，相较于将传统农业转变为高科技“智能”农业的其他方法，它展现出了更大的潜力。本研究利用科学网进行文献分析，以查找有关“纳米生物肥料”“植物”和“农业”的相关论文。这些主题在文献中受到了广泛关注，这些出版物的共被引模式就表明了这一点。本研究工作探索了纳米技术在农业中的新颖应用，利用纳米级材料的独特特性来解决诸如养分输送、作物保护和可持续耕作方法等紧迫问题。本研究试图通过讨论纳米生物肥料的配方、制备和表征，阐明纳米生物肥料与植物相互作用的机制以及这如何有益于植物抵御气候变化带来的生物和非生物胁迫的能力，来填补我们知识中的一些空白。本综述还探讨了在田间使用纳米生物肥料配方的农业领域的最新进展和未来方向。
