“…For a more extensive explanation of this issue and of chitosan signal perception, please refer to the review paper of Chandra and coworkers [96]. The most updated description of the pathways stimulated by metallic nCHT underlying their antimicrobial activity and defense mechanism has been revised by the Chouhan and Mandal [97].…”

The Green New Deal requires a profound transformation of the agricultural sector, which will have to become more sustainable and ensure universal access to healthy food. Thus, it will be essential to introduce radical technological innovations. Nanotechnologies have the potential to produce a significant boost to the improvement of the food system. Within this context, in the next years, a strong challenge will need to be faced regarding developing new and more efficient uses of nutrients in agriculture, being the nutrient use efficiency (NUE) paramount in sustaining high crop productivity without depleting biodiversity, and altering both the natural and agricultural systems. Nutrients leaching causes environmental pollution and water eutrophication, while nutrient excess favors pest and weed widespread. Therefore, it will be mandatory to improve plant nutrition efficiency without affecting agricultural productivity and economic sustainability. A promising alternative consists of the introduction of the so-called nanomaterial enhanced fertilizers and plant growth stimulators. Such innovation includes nanotechnological solutions that can improve nutrient delivery for a more finely tuned, accurate, and saving-resources distribution of nutrients. This review provides a critical view of the latest advances in nanofertilizer research, mainly referring to nano-hydroxyapatite, silica nanoparticles, and chitosan-derived nanostructures.

“…Moreover, the combination of chitosan nanoparticles with other elements such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), as well as silver (Ag) is becoming widely used [21][22][23]. Researchers suggest that chitosan based metallic nanoparticles may be even more effective than bulk chitosan in anti-pathogenic and plant growth-promoting activities [24]. Also in the research, the potential for the use of chitosan and its derivatives in agriculture and the need to systematize the current state of knowledge is repeatedly highlighted.…”

This review presents the main findings from measurements carried out on cereals using chitosan, its derivatives, and nanoparticles. Research into the use of chitosan in agriculture is growing in popularity. Since 2000, 188 original scientific articles indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases have been published on this topic. These have focused mainly on wheat (34.3%), maize (26.3%), and rice (24.2%). It was shown that research on other cereals such as millets and sorghum is scarce and should be expanded to better understand the impact of chitosan use. This review demonstrates that this chitosan is highly effective against the most dangerous diseases and pathogens for cereals. Furthermore, it also contributes to improving yield and chlorophyll content, as well as some plant growth parameters. Additionally, it induces excellent resistance to drought, salt, and low temperature stress and reduces their negative impact on cereals. However, further studies are needed to demonstrate the full field efficacy of chitosan.

“…It is widely found in fungi, crustaceans, insects and some algae. A large number of applications in food and nutrition, cosmetics, packaging and preservation, textile, waste water treatment, immobilization and agricultural industry of chitin and chitosan have been well documented [2] [3]. Chitosan can be degraded into chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) by chemical or enzymatic methods [4].…”

Solid-state fermentation was carried out using mycelium powder of Aspergillus niger as substrate for the production of chitosanase of Streptomyces.Results of the experiments indicated that the optimal medium consisted of wheat bran and mycelium powder of Aspergillus niger with initial moisture content of 60% -70%. The enzyme activity reached 41.33 U per gram dry medium after cultured for 5 days at 28˚C -30˚C and an initial pH 6.5. Chitosanase was detected on the second day of incubation and had maximal activity at 5 days and decreased gradually within a 1 month period. Solid-state fermentation is maybe an economic alternative in the production.
