Abstract :Medicinal and aromatic plants are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries around the world. The production of medicinal aromatic plants, which are subject to international trade and due to the increasing demand in recent years, is increasing rapidly. The added value of medicinal and aromatic plants grown organic or with good agricultural practices is increasing in both domestic and foreign markets. New generation nano-fertilizers that are sensitive to human and environmental health may be a more effective application for nutrient management in good agricultural practices in medicinal aromatic plants, as they have more penetration capacity, surface area and efficiency. Although there are few studies investigating the effects of nanofertilizers on the yield and quality of medicinal and aromatic plants, these studies have determined that nanofertilizers have a positive effect on yield and quality. This approach opens a new avenue for investigating nanofertilizers as an alternative application to traditional fertilizers used in medicinal aromatic plant culture.
