Effect of nano fertilizer on number of leaves and chlorophyll reading for dwarfed long bean (Vigna sesquipedalis)

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. Nanotechnology is expected to have a significant impact on human life in the 21st century (Sahoo et al., 2007Kaplan et al., 2017). The impacts and interests of nanotechnology in the future are gaining momentum in many developed and developing countries at present. Based on information obtained from the United States, Asia Pacific and Europe between 1997 and 2005, it is projected to be RM 2.3 trillion of products and two million jobs will be involved with nanotechnology until 2017 and in the world market it will potentially generate up to seven million jobs, especially in agricultural sector (Boehmer-Christiansen, 2012). Most farmers do not realize that not all single fertilizers used can be fully absorbed by plants (Romig et al., 1995). According to previous studies, synthetic nitrogen in the market is from reactive nitrogen. It does not really stay local and it can also interact with the surrounding resources such as by soil carbon, oxygen and water. It is estimated that only 30-50 percent is absorbed by the crops and the rest is due to waste due to the surrounding resource response. This study was conducted to compare the effects of nano fertilizers and commercial single fertilizers application on the number of leaves produced and chlorophyll content of dwarfed long bean (Vigna sesquipedalis).
