Published: Feb. 9, 2022

By 2050, population growth and climate change will lead to increased demand for food water. Nanoparticles (NPs), an advanced technology, can be applied many areas of agriculture, including crop protection enhancement, build sustainable agricultural production. Ionic gelation method is a synthesis microparticles or NPs, based on electrostatic interaction between opposite charge types that contains at least one polymer under mechanical stirring conditions. which are commonly chitosan (CS), have been fields, nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, nanoherbicides. The CS-NP CS-NPs-loaded active ingredients (Cu, saponin, harpin, Zn, hexaconazole, salicylic acid (SA), NPK, thiamine, silicon, silver (Ag)) effective in controlling plant diseases enhancing growth, depending the concentration application by direct indirect mechanisms, attracted much attention last five years. Many crops evaluated vivo greenhouse conditions but only maize (CS-NP-loaded Cu, SA, silicon) soybean Cu) were tested manage post flowering stalk rot, Curvularia leaf spot, bacterial pustule disease field condition. Since 2019, eight studies performed shown interest CS-NPs synthesized ionic method. In this review, we summarized current state research provided forward-looking view use management.
