Abstract-The overuse of fertilizers in agriculture to boost yields has been shown to be wasteful because most of them are wasted and have detrimental impacts on both the environment and human health. With the goal of lowering the usage of mineral fertilizers, raising yields, and promoting agricultural development, farmers face a significant barrier in substituting the application of fertilizers with nanofertilizers. An extensive summary of the effects of nanofertilizers on the environment is given in this review. A review and description are given on the use of nanofertilizers and novel delivery systems to increase agricultural productivity. The benefits of the nanoencapsulation technology are highlighted specifically for fertilizers. Nanomaterials can encapsulate micro- or macronutrients in nanofertilizers, allowing for the regulated and slow release of nutrients into the soil to preserve soil fertility and avoid eutrophication and water resource contamination. For the proper and secure use of nanofertilizers in agriculture, a risk assessment is necessary.
