Sumario:Abstract The laboratory research was attempted to find nano zinc fertilizer utilizing the carbon sphere as a substrate. Typically the encapsulation techniques are followed in the drug delivery system, the limited work was done in nano-based zinc micronutrient for slow release of nutrients to crop. The use efficiency of zinc micronutrients in the soil is only less than 6 percentage. In universal, the deficiency of zinc micronutrients causes malnutrition problems in human beings, especially in children. After considering this problem we planned to prepare zinc nano fertilizer by using the carbon sphere for need-based slow release and increase the use efficiency of zinc micronutrient in soil. In this study we synthesis the carbon sphere nanoparticle after the formation of carbon sphere the zinc sulphate was loaded and characterized by utilizing Scanning Electron Microscopy, Surface Area and Porosity, X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy. The research result shows that the nano carbon sphere was excellently loaded with zinc sulphate to the tune of 8 percentage and it was confirmed by Energy dispersive X-beam spectroscopy. The zinc loaded carbon sphere release nutrient for a prolonged period of up to 600 h in the case of conventional zinc sulphate zinc release halted after 216 h in percolation reactor studies. The zinc nano fertilizer is recommended in agriculture to increase zinc use efficiency, crop yield without any environmental risk.
