Abstract Nanomaterials and plant biostimulants are attracting significant attention for their potential applications in the agri-food sector. These efforts have mostly focused on independent applicability of these two emerging fields to achieve improved agricultural outcomes. However, an even larger impact can be created if nanotechnology biostimulant technology combined. This transdisciplinary review combines diverse highlight role nanotechnologies advancing sustainable production high-quality food. The first explains key concepts a tutorial style offer research community understanding nanotechnology. then dives deeply into which substances or microorganisms complex mixtures capable improving nutrition growth, directly influencing aspects relevant food quality, safety, security. presents convincing case that combining nanomaterials with provides promising answer against insecurity near future. Sustainability is central our discussions, exemplified by cases, such as from waste material, thus contributing circular economy. also identifies avenues utilize value biostimulants. Strategies nanoencapsulation proposed produce nano-biostimulants could act synergistically enhance quality while offering solution increasing challenge respecting environment. Graphical

As Africa’s population continues to grow, the need for sustainable agricultural practices has intensified, sparking greater interest in nanofertilizers This review critically evaluates agronomic efficiency and environmental sustainability of African context. It combines existing research on nanofertilizers’ effectiveness, nutrient-use efficiency, impact. Nanofertilizers have shown a boost up 30% compared conventional fertilizers. also highlights benefits such as enhanced crop yields (up 25% increase maize production), reduced chemical fertilizer requirements 40% reduction nitrogen application), improved soil health. The analysis informs policy, research, practice aimed at optimizing nanofertilizer deployment agriculture. projected global 2.4 billion by 2050 that solutions never been more important. Our conveys an assessment potential contribution food security.

Massive accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural land as a result enhanced levels toxicity the soil is an emerging global concern. Among various metals, zinc contamination has severe effects on plant and human health through food chain. To remove such toxicity, nanotechnological neutralizer, cobalt oxide nanoballs (Co3O4 Nbs) were synthesized by using extract Cordia myxa. The Co3O4 Nbs well characterized via UV-vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques. Green-synthesized exposed over Acacia jacquemontii nilotica at different concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100 ppm). Highly significant results observed for growth application ppm, thereby increasing root length (35%), shoot (48%), fresh weight (44%), dry (40%) species with respect to control. Furthermore, physiological parameters including chlorophyll contents, relative water osmolyte contents like proline sugar showed prominent increase. antioxidant activity atomic absorption supported justified positive response that mitigated heavy-metal stress improving growth. Hence, biocompatible counteract governing maintaining Such tools can therefore step up cropping system overcome meet productivity demand along development management strategies.

Nanosilica is a versatile nanomaterial suitable as, e.g., drug carriers in medicine, fillers polymers, and fertilizer/pesticide potentially bioavailable source of silicon agriculture. The enhanced biological activity nanosilica over quartz sand has been noted before; it directly related to the altered physicochemical properties nanoparticles compared those bulk material. Therefore, feasible use as form plant stimulant. synthesis relatively cheap routine process on laboratory scale; however, not easily scalable. Largely for this reason, studies fertilizers are scarce. This study will focus industrial-scale silica nanoparticle production application stimulant maize. A variant sol-gel method used successfully synthesize particles starting from sand. resulting size range 16-37 nm with great purity. potential demonstrated increased quantity quality maize crops.

Global crop production is significantly reduced by rapid changes in the climate, either natural or manmade activities. The frequent application of various fertilizers, has resulted soil pollution, which further exacerbated water scarcity. indiscriminate use chemical fertilizers led to devastating consequences such as reduction fertility, environmental contamination, increased insect resistance, destroyed biodiversity, and ultimately heavy economic losses. Another approach being investigated explored biofertilizers, a better supplement improve yields without harming environment. However, significant challenge lies fact that plants cannot utilize whole biofertilizer intact, much portion remained unabsorbed became part instead reaching targeted site. This problem can be solved nanotechnology; nano-biofertilizers increase tolerance against abiotic stresses. They plant morphology, biochemistry yield, well composition. Thus, comparison conventional nano-biofertilizer produce eco-friendly, sustainable longer-lasting outcomes. paper discusses review formulations based on nanotechnology for agriculture development. invention species highlighted this paper, along with how it improves growth development plants.
