In recent years, significant advances in nanotechnology have increased the ability to produce nanoparticles of physiologically important metals on a large scale, which are now used to improve fertilizer formulations to increase uptake by plant cells and minimize nutrient losses. Fertilizers with nanostructure can increase the efficiency of nutrient use through mechanisms such as targeted delivery, slow or controlled release. The aim of the research is to substantiate a compensatory scheme for the use of biodynamic nanofertilizers (nanocomplex micronutrient fertilizers with organic acids) by partially replacing the main macrofertilizers in the spring wheat fertilization system. The research was conducted on the basis of the educational and scientific laboratory Department of Plant Industry of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. In research, there were used the methods of field experiments of A.O. Rozhkov, notching method and scanning method for determination of leaf surface area. The studies showed that it is possible to replace within 30-40% of the recommended amount of mineral fertilizers with biodynamic nanofertilizers in the spring wheat fertilization system. In general, the use of nanofertilizers increased wheat growth and improved yield and yield components. Substitution of mineral fertilizers, Innoparmis Agroscience Biodynamic fertilizers, provides a more favourable 86-88% survival rate of spring wheat plants during the growing season. By replacing 34% of the recommended rate of mineral fertilizers, the content of photosynthetic pigments in wheat leaves increases by 5% and the leaf surface area increases by 7%. The created compensatory schemes for the use of biodynamic nanofertilizers by partial (34% in the wheat fertilization system) replacement of the main macronutrients can increase the yield of spring wheat by 9.9%. The proven possibility of replacing mineral fertilizers with biodynamic nanofertilizers in the fertilization system of agricultural crops will reduce environmental pollution and the economic dependency of using mineral fertilizers against the background of their rapid increase in price in recent years
