    Nano-Fertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture Under Limited Abiotic Conditions
    (Apple Academic Press, 2025-02-21) Anamika Dubey; Diksha Saiyam; Ashwani Kumar; Mohammed Latif Khan; Ayman El Sabagh
    Nutrient fertilization is essential for sustaining soil fertility and improving crop productivity. Horticultural crops rely heavily on chemical fertilizers, and precise nutrient management is a significant concern worldwide. Traditional fertilizers cost significantly, not just for farmers, but they may also damage individuals and the environment. This has prompted a hunt for ecologically benign fertilizers, particularly ones that employ nutrients efficiently, with nanotechnology as a possible option. Nanofertilizers can help with nutrition management because of their potential to significantly increase nutritional utilization efficiency. Nutrients are attached to nano-dimensional adsorbents, in which nutrients are released more slowly than traditional fertilizers, whether applied alone or in combination. This method improves fertilizer utilization and reduces nutrient loss into groundwater. Combined with microorganisms (so-called nanobiofertilizers), they may provide even greater benefits. Although the advantages of nanofertilizers undoubtedly open up new opportunities for sustainable agriculture, their limitations should be thoroughly researched before they are put on the market. The widespread discharge of nanoparticles entering the environment and food chain, in particular, might endanger human health. To summa-rize, while nanomaterials in agriculture offer promising possibilities for enhancing plants’ nutritional status and stress resistance while increasing yields in the face of climate change, not all applications of nanomaterials will be as reliable as others. Before using nanofertilizers, the hazards should be thoroughly investigated, and more biotechnological breakthroughs are necessary for the proper use of nanoparticles in agriculture that are both safe and effective. The interaction between nanoparticles and abiotic stressors, as well as the properties and functions of nanofertilizers, are discussed in this chapter, along with the benefits and drawbacks of each.

    NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR AGRICULTURE: A Potential Tool for Abiotic Stress Tolerance
    (Apple Academic Press, 2025-02-21) Ashwani Kumar; Ayamn El Sabagh
    Nanotechnology is emerging as an exciting field of research in relation to agriculture today, mainly due to its potential for tackling the harmful effects of abiotic stresses and climate change. This new book throws light on the use of nanoparticles as nanofertifilizers and details their prospective applications in agricultural science, including their use in minimizing the consequences of climate change, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, and achieving abiotic stress management. With chapters contributed by expert researchers from around the world, this book summarizes the importance of nanotechnology in abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants, presenting the latest research on the application of nanotechnology in agriculture crop production, its various applications in crop growth enhancement under different abiotic stress conditions, and the uses of various nanoparticles in agricultural fields for better yield and productivity. The book begins with a basic introduction to the concept of nanotechnology and its role in modern agriculture and proceeds to cover some of the latest trends and highlighting the prospects of nanotechnology in promoting sustainable agriculture through nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanoencapsulation, nanosensors, nanobarcodes, and intelligent distribution systems. It also details important topics such as nano-priming as seed priming technology for sustainable agriculture, the role of Si and nano-silicon (SiNP) in ameliorating biotic and abiotic stresses, and more. The use of nanotechnology in specific plants is also discussed, such as, for example, in cotton, forage crops, medicinal crops, etc. Covering nanotechnology for its diverse use in agriculture, focusing on both its possibilities and challenges, this book will be valuable for researchers and agricultural scientists as well as for faculty and students in the emerging field of nanotechnology in agricultural sciences.
