Moreover, ZnO NPs can also be employed in fertilizers as a source of zinc micronutrient, which is a primary element for enzymes and proteins synthesis in plants, allowing their regular growth and improving crop productivity. However, the extensive use of nanoparticles as a source of fertilizers in agricultural activities also raises concerns once nanoparticle features including surface charge, chemical fucntionalittes, size and shape can alter the toxicity of NPs.
