India is a developing nation practicing intensive agriculture for fulfilling the needs of more than eighteen million peoples, for which huge and imbalance amount of fertilizer has been used. Consequently, soil quality deteriorates and inevitable loss of soil microbial diversity. In recent years zeolites a natural aluminosilicate was studied extensively as soil amendment as it increases the soil-nutrient surface area and extend the magnitude of nutrient use efficiency in farming systems. Zeolites types vary in their chemical composition and structure and may have different impact on soil nutrient availability to plants. Slow releases of nutrient, water holding capacity, enhancing soil microbial diversity, ion exchange capacity are the major areas of current research. In this review we present the zeolites types and explored their role in nutrient dynamics.
