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.

Field Crop Responses and Management Strategies to Mitigate Soil Salinity in Modern Agriculture: A Review

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 11(11), С. 2299 - 2299

Опубликована: Ноя. 13, 2021

The productivity of cereal crops under salt stress limits sustainable food production and security. Barley followed by sorghum better adapts to salinity stress, while wheat maize are moderately adapted. However, rice is a salt-sensitive crop, its growth grain yield significantly impacted stress. High soil can reduce water uptake, create osmotic in plants and, consequently, oxidative Crops have evolved different tolerance mechanisms, particularly cereals, mitigate the stressful conditions, i.e., effluxing excessive sodium (Na+) or compartmentalizing Na+ vacuoles. Likewise, activate an antioxidant defense system detoxify apoplastic cell wall acidification reactive oxygen species (ROS). Understanding response field including their resistance help breed adapted varieties with high unfavourable environmental factors. In contrast, primary stages seed germination more critical than vegetative stages. at reproductive stage also decrease crop productivity. Biotechnology approaches being used accelerate development salt-adapted crops. addition, hormones osmolytes application toxicity impact salts Therefore, we review on physiology production, management strategies cope harmful negative effect

Natural polymer-based nanocomposites have received significant attention in both scientific and industrial research recent years. They can help to eliminate the consequences of application petroleum-derived polymeric materials related environmental concerns. Such consist natural biopolymers (e.g., chitosan, starch, cellulose, alginate many more) derived from plants, microbes animals that are abundantly available nature, biodegradable thus eco-friendly, be used for developing agriculture food industry applications. Biopolymer-based act as slow-release nanocarriers delivering agrochemicals (fertilizers/nutrients) or pesticides crop plants increase yields. Similarly, biopolymer-based nanofilms hydrogels may direct product coating extend shelf life improve seed germination protection pathogens pests. Biopolymers huge potential food-packaging. However, their packaging properties, such mechanical strength gas, water microbial barriers remarkably improved when combined with nanofillers nanoparticles. This article provides an overview strategic applications polymer active compounds, hydrogels, nanocoatings nanofilms. risk, challenges, chances, consumers' perceptions nanotechnology production been also discussed.

The growing population is driving up the demand for food, but inadequate efficiency of traditional fertilizers constraining crop production. Nanotechnology-based represent a novel strategy boosting agricultural output and show great potential as viable options in fertilizer industry, they can significantly enhance nutrient retention promote optimal growth. Very recently, slow controlled release nanofertilizers have evolved through development nanocomposites or coating techniques with aid various chemical entities. These types are more effective than normal these deliver nutrients manner be regulated by environmental physical stimuli (pH, temperature, humidity, etc.). Their use (NUE) also far better nanoparticles (individual like iron, zinc, copper etc.), demonstrate zero very little leaching. Utilizing mitigates loss from volatilization leaching offers meticulously tailored system harmonizing objective sustainable agriculture. Therefore, this review article provides insights into nanofertilizers, including preparation approaches, nutrient-release techniques, analytical detection methods, current status, role improvement, commercial viability, future perspectives.
