THE POSSIBILITY OF USING NANOFERTILIZERS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND RAISE THE EFFICIENCY OF VEGETABLE CROPS PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE THE DAMAGE OF BIOLOGICAL STRESSES (Review Article)

Abstract

Several methods were used to increase productivity and improve the quality of the
product for vegetable crops and prolong their presence in the markets, including the treatment of
various vegetable crops with industrial growth regulators and mineral fertilizers, whether fertilizers
containing in their composition contain micronutrients or major nutrients. Global statistics have
shown in many studies that there are large numbers of people in the world whose number exceeds 3
billion peoples who suffer from undernutrition, especially the shortage of micronutrients, as this
problem can be overcome by adding fertilizers containing these elements to agricultural production
fields in different ways, but the use of these chemical fertilizers may have negative harmful effects on
the environment and public health in addition to the high prices, which constitute an economic burden
on farms, so the researchers moved not long ago to adopt the idea of using nanofertilizers to raise
production efficiency and reduce the harm of biological stresses reduce the cost of production
processes as well as it is the safest food source compared to chemical fertilizers in vegetable crops,
which have been used and utilized in many scientific fields in many countries of the world.
