Published: Feb. 22, 2025

The increasing severity of salinity stress, exacerbated by climate change, poses significant challenges to sustainable agriculture, particularly in salt-affected regions. Soil salinity, impacting approximately 20% irrigated lands, severely reduces crop productivity disrupting plants’ physiological and biochemical processes. This study evaluates the effectiveness zinc (Zn) silicon (Si) nanofertilizers improving maize (Zea mays L.) growth, nutrient uptake, yield under both saline non-saline field conditions. ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via co-precipitation method due its ability produce highly pure uniform particles, while sol–gel was chosen for SiO2 NPs ensure precise control over particle size enhanced surface activity. characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TEM-EDX, confirming their crystalline nature, morphology, nanoscale (ZnO~12 nm, SiO2~15 nm).

Silicon Nano-Fertilizer-Enhanced Soybean Resilience and Yield Under Drought Stress

Plants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 751 - 751

Published: March 1, 2025

Drought stress threatens agriculture and food security, significantly impacting soybean yield physiology. Despite the documented role of nanosilica (n-SiO2) in enhancing crop resilience, its full growth-cycle effects on soybeans under drought remain elusive. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy n-SiO2 at a concentration 100 mg kg−1 soil medium for tolerance through life-cycle assessment greenhouse setup. To elucidate mechanisms action, key physiological, biochemical, parameters were systematically measured. The results demonstrated that increased silicon content shoots roots, restored osmotic balance by reducing Na+/K+ ratio 40%, alleviated proline accumulation 35% compared control, thereby mitigating stress. Enzyme activities related nitrogen metabolism, including nitrate reductase (NR) glutamine synthetase (GS), improved 25–30% treatment control. Additionally, antioxidant activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels, 15%, while oxidative markers such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased 20–25% Furthermore, components enhanced, with pod number grain weight increasing 15% 20%, respectively, untreated plants conditions. These findings suggest effectively enhances resilience reinforcing physiological metabolic processes critical growth yield. underscores potential sustainable amendment support productivity drought-prone environments, contributing more resilient agricultural systems amidst climate variability. Future research should focus conducting large-scale field trials effectiveness cost-efficiency applications diverse environmental conditions assess practical viability agriculture.

Abstract Nanotechnology has emerged as a revolutionary force in modern agriculture, opening new avenues for crop enhancement and sustainable farming practices. This review systematically evaluates the roles of silica nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs) agricultural applications, with particular emphasis on their biosynthesis pathways functional mechanisms. SiO NPs have demonstrated considerable potential to enhance resilience against both biotic (pathogens, pests) abiotic (heavy metals, salinity, drought) stresses through phytohormonal regulation, defense gene activation, metabolic modulation. As nanocarriers, these particles pesticide fertilizer delivery accuracy, reduce environmental contamination, promote plant growth. Biosynthesis methods range from conventional physical–chemical techniques eco-friendly green approaches, including utilization biological cells/extracts, natural biomaterials, peptide templates. Although synthesis offers sustainability advantages, adoption faces critical challenges, such insufficient understanding long-term persistence ecotoxicological impacts, high production costs related synthesis, incomplete regulatory frameworks. Addressing challenges is essential enable broader use agriculture.
