Soil water and soil nutrient contents are the most important factors for crop productivity and agricultural
sustainability. Water has become very scarce in rainfed agriculture and the cost of chemical fertilizers
is increasing day by day. Nutrients availability and their translocation also reduce under limited water
availability. Therefore, it is very important to manage both water and nutrient resources and to improve
their use efficiency through environment friendly strategies. In the recent time, the use of zeolites has
been emphasized in improving the physical and chemical properties of soils due to their high CEC,
moisture holding capacity and etc. Zeolites are naturally occurring aluminosilicates with voids and
channels in their inner structure, where water and nutrients are stored and exchanged. This characteristic
of zeolites can be capitalized to enhance the use efficiency of fertilizers and water and to reduce the risk
of environmental pollution occurring due to nitrate leaching and emissions of nitrous oxides and NH3
. It
is with this concern; the present review is focused on harnessing the potential of zeolites, for improving
the water and nutrient use efficiency with reduced carbon foot prints
