It aims to examine the impact of nano and non-nano fertilizers on rice quality and productivity. Rice is a staple food crop for a large portion of the global population, the use of fertilizers is essential for optimizing yields and maintaining food security. The emergence of nano-fertilizers presents new opportunities for enhancing nutrient use efficiency, plant growth, and rice quality. However, limitations in existing research, such as the lack of comparative studies and methodological inconsistencies, make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the relative merits of nano and non-nano fertilizers. The implementation of nano-fertilizers faces challenges related to cost, accessibility, regulatory frameworks, and public perception. Future research should focus on long-term field studies, investigating potential risks and benefits, and developing sustainable and cost-effective formulations. By addressing these challenges and knowledge gaps, this review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential impacts of nano and non-nano fertilizers on rice cultivation and contribute to the development of sustainable agricultural practices.
