    Abstract

    The global population's increasing food demand necessitates enhanced sustainable crop production. Fertilizer application is crucial for improving crop yield and soil fertility, but conventional methods can lead to nutrient loss through leaching, volatilization, and eutrophication, reducing nutrient use efficiency. Next-generation smart fertilizers, designed with innovative formulations, aim to maximize agricultural production while minimizing environmental impact. These advanced fertilizers include controlled-release fertilizers, nano-fertilizers, bioformulations, and IoT-based nutrient management practices. Their adoption is essential to meet global food needs and reduce environmental harm.
