Abstract
In this research work, we have proposed macronutrients incorporated slow release basis nano-fertilizer using nano-
zeolite as carrier. Simple chemical approach was used to synthesis nano-zeolite composite fertilizer (NZCF) and
characterized by different techniques including powder XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TG/DTA. A considerable increase was
observed in soil quality, water retention capacity, swelling ratio, equilibrium water content of NZCF as compared to the
commercial fertilizer which is favourable for plant growth. A laboratory study on proposed nano-fertilizer and
conventional fertilizer were studied to evaluate their effect on soil quality and plant growth in ambient temperature.
Moreover, the slow release studies of macro-nutrients confirmed the long-term availability of nutrients to the plant
which has a great potential in promoting plant growth. Hence, it can be assumed that the prepared nanocomposite
fertilizer can be safely used as environment friendly nutrients for plant growth.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely,
In this research work, we have proposed macronutrients incorporated slow release basis nano-
fertilizer using nano-zeolite as carrier. Simple chemical approach was used to synthesis nano-
zeolite composite fertilizer (NZCF) and characterized by different techniques including powder
XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TG/DTA. A considerable increase was observed in soil quality, water
retention capacity, swelling ratio, equilibrium water content of NZCF as compared to the
commercial fertilizer which is favourable for plant growth. A laboratory study on proposed nano-
fertilizer and conventional fertilizer were studied to evaluate their effect on soil quality and plant
growth in ambient temperature. Moreover, the slow release studies of macro-nutrients confirmed
the long-term availability of nutrients to the plant which has a great potential in promoting plant
growth. Hence, it can be assumed that the prepared nanocomposite fertilizer can be safely used as
environment friendly nutrients for plant growth.
