Nano-fertilizers are synthesized by top-down (physical) or bottom-up (chemical) approaches. Top-down approach is a commonly used method. In top-down approach, the adsorbent or substrate used for synthesis of nano-fertilizers such as zeolite or any other carrier is ball milled for several hours to achieve nano-dimension.
