Nanoparticle-Based Sustainable Agriculture and Food Science: Recent Advances and Future Outlook

Frontiers in Nanotechnology, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 2

Published: Dec. 4, 2020

In the current scenario, it is an urgent requirement to satisfy nutritional demands of rapidly growing global population. Using conventional farming, nearly one third crops get damaged, mainly due pest infestation, microbial attacks, natural disasters, poor soil quality, and lesser nutrient availability. More innovative technologies are immediately required overcome these issues. this regard, nanotechnology has contributed agrotechnological revolution that imminent potential reform resilient agricultural system while promising food security. Therefore, nanoparticles becoming a new-age material transform modern practices. The variety nanoparticle-based formulations, including nano-sized pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, sensors, have been widely investigated for plant health management improvement. In-depth understanding nanomaterial interactions opens new avenues toward improving crop practices through increased properties such as disease resistance, yield, utilization. review, we highlight critical points address nanotechnology-based research could benefit productivity security in future.

Nano-Biotechnology in Agriculture: Use of Nanomaterials to Promote Plant Growth and Stress Tolerance

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 68(7), P. 1935 - 1947

Published: Jan. 31, 2020

Sustainable agriculture is a key component of the effort to meet increased food demand rapidly increasing global population. Nano-biotechnology promising tool for sustainable agriculture. However, rather than acting as nanocarriers, some nanoparticles (NPs) with unique physiochemical properties inherently enhance plant growth and stress tolerance. This biological role depends on their properties, application method (foliar delivery, hydroponics, soil), applied concentration. Here we review effects different types, concentrations various abiotic (salinity, drought, heat, high light, heavy metals) biotic (pathogens herbivores) stresses. The ability stimulate by positive seed germination, root or shoot growth, biomass grain yield also considered. information presented herein will allow researchers within outside nano-biotechnology field better select appropriate starting materials in agricultural applications. Ultimately, shift from testing/utilizing existing designing specific based needs facilitate use nanotechnology

Nanofertilizers: New Products for the Industry?

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 66(26), P. 6462 - 6473

Published: May 24, 2017

Mineral fertilizers are key to food production, despite plant low nutrient uptake efficiencies and high losses. However, nanotechnology can both enhance crop productivity reduce This has raised interest in nanoscale nanoenabled bulk fertilizers, hence the concept of nanofertilizers. Nevertheless, large-scale industrial production nanofertilizers is yet be realized. Here, we highlight science-based evidence outstanding concerns for motivating fertilizer industry nanofertilizers, including notion toxicity associated with materials; scant nanofertilizer research nutrients; inadequacy soil- or field-based studies nanofertilizers; type nanomaterials produce as fertilizers; how efficiently effectively apply at field scale; economics It anticipated that development validation nondisruptive existing systems will motivate industry's involvement
