Abstract

Aim: The present study aimed to synthesize the novel Gluconate nano NPK agricultural fertilizers and evaluate its efficacy in increasing soil’s nutrient parameters.

Material and Method: Nano composites of nano Gluconate and chitosan with NPK source were prepared. Using X-Ray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy, the stability and interaction of Gluc-NP/CS NP suspensions containing fertilizers were assessed. An experiment involving laboratory incubation was used to measure the release of nutrients.

Result: The components were aggregated and loaded on the surface of biofertilizers, as shown by the mean diameter increase of the nano Gluconate nanoparticles/Chitosan nanoparticles in suspension with fertilizer addition. In the first four weeks, NPK composite loaded biofertilizer was found to have a significantly greater percentage of mineral nitrogen (MN) than the control. Less fluctuation was seen for exchangeable K during incubation, indicating a rapid release.

Conclusion: The findings showed coordinated nutrient release by nano composites with enhancing the nutrient parameters of soil and thus will be used on experimental field in further study.
