Nanoparticles for the Improved Crop Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanotechnology for Agriculture: Crop Production & Protection

Abstract

Currently, the agricultural sector is facing a large number of challenges such as (a) changing climate because of the greenhouse effect and global warming; (b) urbanization due to changes in the life pattern; (c) injudicious use of nonrenewable resources such as petroleum, natural gas, high-quality rock phosphate, etc.; and (d) environmental issues such as runoff of nutrients and eutrophication related to the application of more chemical fertilizers than that required. In these days, the productivity and quality of agricultural products can be improved by using the modern technology that can meet the growing demand for food of the world population and which is environment friendly. In the field of agriculture, the use of nanomaterials improves the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural practices by applying less input and generating less waste as compared to the conventional products and approaches. The success of the use of nanoparticles for disease suppression, nutritional improvement, and yield increase may depend on the particle-size difference between the “bulk” and “nano” types of materials. In this chapter, we discuss the effects of nanosized micronutrient fertilizers on improving crop yields of plants toward a sustainable environment. In this case, the nanostructured microelements of plants, such as Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn, Si, Co, Se, and Zn, play critical roles in plant disease resistance by enzyme activation and in improving the efficiency of energy production by photosynthetic machinery for defensive mechanisms. There are some nanomaterials that are not included in the list of macro- or micronutrient of plants; however, these nanomaterials have shown an improvement in various growth processes of plants, and therefore these nanomaterials have been discussed in this chapter.
