Toxicity of NiO nanoparticles to soil nutrient availability and herbage N uptake from poultry manure

Abstract Recently, there is an increasing trend of using metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture due to their potential role in remediating soil pollution and improving nutrient utilization from fertilizers. However, evidence suggested that these NPs were toxic to the soil life and their associa...
