Abstract

Enhancing Nitrogen use efficiency is key task since, it meagrely ranges between 30-35% indicating loss of more than 50 per cent applied N through various means. Use of innovative techniques, such as Nano fertilizers could be the plausible answer to this worry. Nano elements due to its size dependent qualities, high surface-volume ratio and unique optical properties are having competency to modify the existing synthetic framework practiced in modern agriculture by increasing the efficiency of supplied plant nutrients. With this aim a field experiment was conducted on black Vertisols of Agronomy farm, RCSM College of Agriculture, Kolhapur (M.S.), India during kharif, 2020.The experiment was statistically tested using split plot design with 4 replications, the main plot factors consisted of time of application of nano nitrogen (NN) viz T1:15 (DAS), T2: 30 DAS and T3: 45 DAS and sub plot factors consist of levels of NN fertilizers viz N1: 1.00, N2: 1.25 and N3:1.50 L per ha.
