Increasing the surface area of any substance increases its activity. this is the main reason for the higher effect of nanofertilizers compared to standard ones.

The effect of nano fertilizers is higher than chemical ones may be due to the fact that changing the particles to nano form can change physic–chemical properties compared to their bulk materials, because they have a
great surface area than bulk materials. Because of these larger surface areas, their solubility and surface reactivity become higher.

There is no simple answer for such questions.Nanofertilizers should be used and added very carefully especially to soil .Some nano metals have negative effects on soil microorganisms and cold be in crop quality !
Nanofertilizer is use very few quantity as seed treatment and Prepare to coated with specific nutrient and clay polymer but they are very costly in comparison to normal fertilizers.
The small diameter of the nanoparticles and the large surface area makes it easy for the plant to absorb them as well as their effect on the growth of the plant more quickly than normal fertilizers .
Interesting discussion without doubt . Compliments to Dr Sundus for tossing up such a post . Is there any study available suggesting nutrient-use-efficiency of nanofertilizers versus conventional fertlizers in any crop raised on any soil. It will be quite revaeling to isten from our colleagues...
The most important question is what mined of nano fertilizer we are talking about .I am not sure that size is the only factor .Nano-fertilizers carried on good carrier such as zeolite is the one .This mean we are talking about slow release fertilizer with very good properties .
Experiments resulted good nutrient use efficiency and increased crop yield. But not manufacturing as commercial basis. If good fertilizers it's allowed to use at field
The scientific reason for this is that nanoparticles have a much smaller diameter than regular compounds. Thus, the solubility of these materials is more rapid than the normal fertilizers, as well as their rapid synthesis within the plant, thus showing their positive effect on the plant Faster than normal fertilizers.
