Abstract: This research outlines the preparation of Nano fertilizer blend derived from banana peels to improve crop growth and sustainability in agriculture. The increasing demand for Eco-friendly and sustainable agriculture practice has led to the exploration of innovative fertilizer solutions. Banana peels being rich in essential nutrients, offer a promising source for Nano
fertilizer development. The aim of this work is to synthesize Nano fertilizer from banana peel via adding urea and citric acid and to study its characterization. FT-IR, AAS, XRD and SEM techniques were used for characterization of banana Nano fertilizer.
Keywords: Nano-fertilizer, Musa paradisiaca (banana peel) FT-IR, AAS, XRD & SEM.
