Comparative Study between Traditional and Nano Calcium Phosphate Fertilizers on Growth and Production of Snap Bean (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.) Plants

Recently, nanofertilizers are being tested as a new technology, either for soil or foliar applications, to improve food production and with a reduced environmental impact. Nano calcium phosphate (NCaP) was successfully synthesized, characterized and applied in this study. A pot experiment was carrie...
