Evaluating the Impact of Nano-Silica and Silica Hydrogel Amendments on Soil Water Retention and Crop Yield in Rice and Clover Under Variable Irrigation Conditions

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(3), С. 652 - 652

Опубликована: Март 5, 2025

The use of water-efficient soil amendments has gained increasing importance in agriculture, particularly regions facing water scarcity. So, this study evaluates the impact silica and nano-silica hydrogels on retention, crop yield, productivity under variable irrigation regimes. Using a randomized complete block design with furrow irrigation, experiment tested different hydrogel application rates levels rice (Oryza sativa L.) clover (Trifolium alexandrinum across two growing seasons. Statistical tests, including ANOVA t-tests, confirm that significantly improves properties, (CWP), especially at moderate (70–90% requirements). In first season, enhanced maximum yield 10.76 tons ha−1 90% 119 kg compared other treatments. second yields were also positively affected, highest fresh forage 5.02 hydrogel. Despite seasonal variation, consistently outperformed terms improving reducing bulk density, enhancing hydraulic conductivity levels. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed improved retention water-holding capacity (WHC), field (FC), available (AW), reduced wilting point (WP). These improvements, turn, led to increased productivity, crop’s total requirements. findings highlight potential as an effective amendment for conditions.

Nano-Food Farming: Toward Sustainable Applications of Proteins, Mushrooms, Nano-Nutrients, and Nanofibers

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(3), С. 606 - 606

Опубликована: Март 18, 2024

The relationship between agriculture and food is very close. It impossible to produce adequate crops for global security without proper farm management. Farming practices represent direct indirect controlling factors in terms of security. management influence agro-food production from seed germination through the post-harvest treatments. Nano-farming utilizes nanotechnologies agricultural production. This review covers four key components nano-farming: nano-mushroom production, protein-based nanoparticles, nano-nutrients, nanofibers. provides a comprehensive overview potential applications nanotechnology agriculture. role these will be discussed relation challenges faced solutions required achieve sustainable Edible mushrooms are important because they nutritious source can nanoparticles that used other sources. Protein-based have considerable delivery bioactives as carriers applications. Nano-nutrients (mainly nano-selenium, nano-tellurium carbon nanodots) crucial impacts on nutrient status plant-based foods. Carbon nanodots carbon-based nanomaterials positively. There promising nanofibers packaging, safety processing. However, further research needed understand risks system.

Agriculture has always resulted from available technology and the necessity to secure humanity’s food needs. In recent decades, a third factor been recognized in this system—the environment. For centuries, side effect of agricultural development environmental pollution uncontrolled use natural resources. New legislation is being introduced worldwide protect environment move towards sustainable economy. An example EU Green Deal, aimed at making Europe world’s first climate-neutral continent. integral part strategy agriculture, based on balanced resources, recycling, ecological practices latest technological solutions. It also important change perception soil recognize its pivotal role ensuring security. Soil non-renewable resource; without healthy soil, no agriculture can exist. reason, paper summarizes trends perspective management conservation. includes summary nanomaterial use, organic farming, health, precision threats challenges sustainability posed by climate change. We conclude that despite rapid extensive solutions striving increase productivity, measures are still lacking will allow maintain adequate efficiency while fully protecting environment, especially developing countries.

Drought is a threat to food security and agricultural sustainability in arid semi-arid countries. Using wasted silica nanoparticles could minimize water scarcity. A controlled study investigated wheat plant physiological morphological growth under tap-water irrigation (80-100, 60-80, 40-60% field capacity). The benefits of S1: 0%, S2: 5%, S3: 10% nanoparticle soil additions were studied. Our research reveals that stress damages the functional plants. Plant height decreased by 8.9%, grain yield 5.4%, biological 19.2%. These effects observed when plants irrigated capacity
