Soil is the major natural source of plant nutrients and support survival and regeneration and growth of flora. However, intensive crop production that aims at high levels of productivity needs supplemental plant nutrition which may be given through soil application and or foliar application. Nutrient supplements assume a significant job in development and advancement of the plants, and when present in inadequate amounts can decrease development and yields. Soil application of nutrients is the most common practice, but it has many limitations with respect to availability of nutrients to the plants. Foliar application overcomes these limitations. The nanotechnology has an imperative role in the productivity by controlling nutrients and monitoring irrigation water quality for sustainable development of agriculture.
