Agriculture plays an important function in the world economy, and is known as the backbone many developing and developed countries. The widespread and continuous use of chemical fertilizers in agricultural systems to increase yields has many health hazards and environmental problems. As a result, a different system needs to be created to improve agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. Implementing and developing nano-technological advances seems to be a viable option. The utilization of the nano based materials with living organisms such as the nano-biofertilizers (NBFs) is one of the best solutions of agricultural challenges. NBFs transfer nutrients to the plants in an intelligent way, demonstrating their superiority over bulky chemical fertilizers in terms of crop output and environmental sustainability. NBFs help the plants to withstand biotic and abiotic stressors in a better way. Depending on the applications method and particle properties, plants can absorb nano-biofertilizers through their roots or leaves. The nano-biofertlizers could be used to reduce chemical fertilizers for agricultural and environmental sustainability.
