Choudhary et al. (2018) reported that the role of Nano phosphorus is to solve the problem of
phosphorus fixation and supply adequate phosphorus to the crop. With respect to phosphorus
management dry matter production was influenced due to application of Nano-P and
phosphatic fertilizer. All these parameters increased with successive increase in levels of
phosphorus.

Drostkar et al. (2016) observed that foliar application of nano P and K, through the action as
a growth promoter can increase the plant growth in chickpea.

Hojjat et al. (2015) reported that the results of applying silver nano particles showed a
significant positive influence on root length, root elongation were observed for all seeds in
compared to those of unexposed control germination in Fenugrrek.

Liu et al. (2015) stated that application of the Hydroxyapatite, nanoparticles rich in
Phosphorus on soybean increased the growth rate by 32.6%, compared to those of treated
with a regular P fertilizer.

Qados et al. (2014) reported that the harmful effect of salt stress on vegetative growth and
relative water content was alleviated by the addition of Nano Si which caused significant
increases in fresh and dry weights.

Yasir et al. (2020) stated that foliar application of nano-particles significantly affected the
growth of mung bean. Number of branches per plant, pods per plant was improved in plots
where Ag and Zn nanoparticles were applied in combination @ 20 ppm + 6 ppm
concentration, respectively.
