There is increasing pressure on global agricultural systems due to higher food demand, climate change, and environmental concerns. The design of nanostructures proposed as one the economically viable technological solutions that can make agrochemical use (fertilizers pesticides) more efficient through reduced runoff, increased foliar uptake bioavailability, decreased impacts. However, gaps in knowledge about transport nanoparticles across leaf surface their behavior planta limit rational for delivery with controlled fate limited risk. Here, current literature nano-objects deposited leaves reviewed. different possible routes (stomata, cuticle, trichomes, hydathodes, necrotic spots) are discussed, along paths translocation, via phloem, from end sinks (mature developing tissues, roots, rhizosphere). This review details interplays between morphological constraints, stimuli, physical-chemical properties influencing fate, transformation, after deposition. A metadata analysis existing highlighted plant used testing nanoparticle most often dicotyledon plants (75%), while monocotyledons (as cereals) less considered. Correlations parameters calculated indicated dose, size, zeta potential, affinity organic phases correlated leaf-to-sink demonstrating targeting specific compartments by should be achievable. also showed time growth seemed drivers mobility, largely overlooked literature. thus highlights material opportunities targeted, stimuli driven deliveries safe nanomaterials agriculture.

Опубликована: Янв. 5, 2022

Nano-fertilizers (NFs) significantly improve soil quality and plant growth performance enhance crop production with fruits/grains. The management of macro-micronutrients is a big task globally, as it relies predominantly on synthetic chemical fertilizers which may not be environmentally friendly for human beings expensive farmers. NFs nutrient uptake by regulating the availability in rhizosphere; extend stress resistance improving nutritional capacity; increase defense mechanisms. They also substitute sustainable agriculture, being found more suitable stimulation development. are associated mitigating environmental stresses enhancing tolerance abilities under adverse atmospheric eco-variables. Recent trends explored relevant agri-technology to fill gaps assure long-term beneficial agriculture strategies safeguard food security globally. Accordingly, nanoparticles emerging cutting-edge agri-improvement near future. Interestingly, they do confer capabilities plants. effective appropriate mechanisms revealed this article update researchers widely.

Nanoparticle and Ionic Zn Promote Nutrient Loading of Sorghum Grain under Low NPK Fertilization

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 65(39), С. 8552 - 8559

Опубликована: Сен. 14, 2017

This study evaluated the effects of ZnO nanoparticles (NP) or Zn salt amendment on sorghum yield, macronutrient use efficiency, and grain Zn-enrichment. Amendments were through soil foliar pathways, under "low" "high" levels nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK). In amendments, yield was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased by both types, albeit insignificantly with soil-applied at low NPK. Across NPK exposure types N K accumulation relative to control plants. Compared K, had a mixed effect P accumulation, depending level pathway, permitted greater retention. Both content, irrespective pathway. These findings suggest nanoenabled strategy for enhancing crop productivity, nutritional quality, efficiency based micronutrient potential implications improved human environmental health.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) hold promise as novel fertilizer nutrients for crops. However, their ultra-small size could hinder large-scale field application due to potential drift, untimely dissolution or aggregation. In this study, urea was coated with ZnO-NPs (1%) bulk ZnO (2%) and evaluated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) a greenhouse, under drought (40% moisture capacity; FMC) non-drought (80% conditions, comparison not (control), separate ZnO-NP amendment. Plants were exposed ≤ 2.17 mg/kg 4.34 bulk-ZnO, indicating exposure higher rate of Zn from the ZnO. bulk-ZnO showed similar coating efficiencies 74-75%. Drought significantly (p 0.05) increased time panicle initiation, reduced grain yield, inhibited uptake Zn, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P). Under drought, average initiation by 5 days, irrespective coating, relative control. contrast, did affect initiation. Compared control, yield significantly, 51 39%, ZnO-NP-coated uncoated urea. Yield increases bulk-ZnO-coated insignificant, compared both control treatments. Plant 24 8% ZnO-NPs; 78 10% bulk-ZnO. treatment reduce time, except Relative (irrespective coating) yield; enhanced significantly. fertilization N P uptake, regardless particle coating. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that enhances plant performance accumulation, thus potentiating field-scale deployment nano-scale micronutrients. Notably, lower inputs crop productivity, comparable This highlights key benefit nanofertilizers: reduction nutrient into agriculture without penalities.

In an alarming tale of agricultural excess, the relentless overuse chemical fertilizers in modern farming methods have wreaked havoc on once-fertile soil, mercilessly depleting its vital nutrients while inflicting irreparable harm delicate balance surrounding ecosystem. The excessive use such leaves residue products, pollutes environment, upsets agrarian ecosystems, and lowers soil quality. Furthermore, a significant proportion nutrient content, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, is lost from (50–70%) before being utilized. Nanofertilizers, other hand, nanoparticles to control release nutrients, making them more efficient cost-effective than traditional fertilizers. Nanofertilizers comprise one or plant within where at least 50% particles are smaller 100 nanometers. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, quantum dots some examples types nanomaterials used production nanofertilizers. new generation that utilize advanced nanotechnology provide sustainable method fertilizing crops. They designed deliver controlled manner, ensuring gradually released over extended period, thus providing steady supply essential elements plants. controlled-release system fertilizers, as it reduces need for frequent application amount fertilizer. These high surface area-to-volume ratio, ideal holding releasing nutrients. Naturally occurring found various sources, volcanic ash, ocean, biological matter viruses dust. However, regarding large-scale production, relying solely naturally may not be sufficient practical. agriculture, has been primarily increase crop minimizing losses activating defense mechanisms against pests, insects, environmental challenges. nanofertilizers can reduce runoff leaching into improving sustainability. also improve fertilizer efficiency, leading higher yields reducing overall cost application. especially beneficial areas inefficient ineffective. way fertilize crops impact product promising technology help meet increasing demand food Currently, face limitations, costs potential safety concerns due nanomaterials, further research needed fully understand their long-term effects health, growth, environment.
