Nanopriming for crop management for sustainable agriculture: An overview

The purpose of this study is to inform scholars in the aforementioned fields on the state of the art in seed nano-priming methods and the ongoing research that is shaping sustainable agricultural practices for the modern day. As things are, agriculture is hampered by a number of abiotic and variables that reduce yields. These stressors on crops are made worse by a lack of freshwater supplies, changes in the climate, and the inefficiency of currently available agrochemicals. The agricultural sector has recently shown an interest in nanomaterials such carbon tubes, nanofiber, and nanoparticles. Coating the nanoparticle with the target substance before releasing it into the surrounding soil or plant increases absorption of the target substance relative to the non-engineerednanomaterial. In order to strike an evolving equilibrium between agricultural output and environmental sustainability, nanotechnology undoubtedly offers a fresh platform. Nano-priming may also be utilized for targeted biofortification of seeds, which can improve crop yields and food quality.
