Both organic, conventional, and nano fertilizers have advantages and disadvantages. This paper aimed to find out the three kinds of fertilizers and its efficiency in crop production and managment. However, it will also depend on some factors to consider. An example is the area of farm for crop production and the capacity of a farmer to acquire such fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are bulky to carry on the farm. These require high transportation costs when compared with synthetic fertilizers. These also lower costs and can be made locally. The slow-release of nutrients into the plants is the vital action of these fertilizers. On which this will increase the nutrient use efficiency of a plant. The nutrients are slowly distributed into the plants making them sustainable and continually. Conventional fertilizers are not bulky to carry as compared to organic fertilizers. Since these fertilizers contain a high amount of macronutrients and has fast release. Meaning the nutrients are rapidly distributed into the plants. This will lead to elemental loss through leaching, evaporation, or volatilization, and other losses which decrease the availability of these fertilizers into the plants. Similarly, this also pollutes the environment such as water, air, and soil. On the other hand, nano fertilizers are cost-effective. Only 25% is used from the recommended rate as compared with conventional fertilizers. This is also slow-release like with the organic fertilizers. This slow-release action of nano fertilizers results in higher nutrient use efficiency. When large crop plantation, nano fertilizers is suitable while smaller farms are suitable by using organic and conventional fertilizers. This strategy resulted to crop production efficiency.
