Abstract
The adequate bioavailability of nutrients to plants is among the various difficulties of the agricultural sector. Thus, the existence of mechanisms for controlled release of the nutrients is essential for planting, as well as novel techniques that do not cause adverse effects. The use of nanotechnology in agriculture can bring many benefits, such as better use of nutrients by plants, reducing waste. Nanofertilizers are an emerging technology and a constantly expanding class of agrochemicals, representing possible solutions to the development of sustainable agriculture. Based on this, the present work aims to update and discuss some relevant topics about these nanomaterials, such as different synthesis approaches, possible mechanisms for the capture of nanofertilizers by plants, and the advantages and limitations of using these materials. Also, an overview of the main literature in the area is presented approaching current studies that use green chemistry concepts. Keywords:
