Synergistic impact of nanomaterials and plant probiotics in agriculture: A tale of two-way strategy for long-term sustainability

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14

Published: May 3, 2023

Modern agriculture is primarily focused on the massive production of cereals and other food-based crops in a sustainable manner order to fulfill food demands an ever-increasing global population. However, intensive agricultural practices, rampant use agrochemicals, environmental factors result soil fertility degradation, pollution, disruption biodiversity, pest resistance, decline crop yields. Thus, experts are shifting their focus eco-friendly safer methods fertilization ensure sustainability. Indeed, importance plant growth-promoting microorganisms, also determined as “plant probiotics (PPs),” has gained widespread recognition, usage biofertilizers being actively promoted means mitigating harmful effects agrochemicals. As bio-elicitors, PPs promote growth colonize or tissues when administered soil, seeds, surface used alternative avoid heavy In past few years, nanotechnology brought revolution due application various nanomaterials (NMs) nano-based fertilizers increase productivity. Given beneficial properties NMs, these two can be tandem maximize benefits. combinations NMs PPs, synergistic use, its infancy but exhibited better crop-modulating terms improvement productivity, mitigation stress (drought, salinity, etc.), restoration fertility, strengthening bioeconomy. addition, proper assessment necessary before application, dose should applicable without showing any toxic impact environment microbial communities.
