 ree Hybrid Seminar- Available on zoom\n\nDespite progress in improving fer
 tilizers\, the persistent problem of poor nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in
  agriculture remains a major obstacle to sustainability. Traditional ferti
 lizers suffer from limitations like nutrient fixation\, leaching\, and vol
 atilization\, resulting in only 50% of nitrogen being effectively utilized
 \, causing environmental damage and economic losses. Nanotechnology offers
  a promising solution\, with recent advances enabling precise nutrient del
 ivery through nano-fertilizers tailored to crop needs.\n\nThis presentatio
 n highlights how nanotechnology is being used in plant nutrition\, discuss
 ing progress and challenges in developing biocompatible foliar and soil-ba
 sed nano-fertilizers to boost nutrient uptake in vital crops.\n\nLearn mor
