“…Bio-nanotechnology deals with nano-sized materials (1 to 00 nanometers) [ 7 ]. Due to their smaller size, nanomaterials (NMs) can easily penetrate the soil, aiding the advantageous microbe population responsible for nutrition availability to plants via the mineralization of numerous essential minerals [ 8 ]. Some nanomaterials are already used in the agrarian field for the improvement of growth and production of various crops [ 9 ].…”

Wheat is the most important staple food worldwide, but wheat cultivation faces challenges from high food demand. Fertilizers are already in use to cope with the demand; however, more unconventional techniques may be required to enhance the efficiency of wheat cultivation. Nanotechnology offers one potential technique for improving plant growth and production by providing stimulating agents to the crop. In this study, plant-derived Ag/ZnO nanomaterials were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, EDX, FTIR, and XRD methods. Various concentrations of phytogenically synthesized Ag/ZnO nanomaterials (20, 40, 60, and 80 ppm) and nitrogen-based fertilizers (urea and ammonium sulphate 50 and 100 mg/L) were applied to wheat varieties (Galaxy-13 and Pak-13). The results obtained from this research showed that application of 60 ppm Ag/ZnO nanomaterials with nitrogenous fertilizers (50 and 100 mg/L) were more effective in improving biochemistry and increasing yield of wheat plants by reducing enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants (proline content, soluble sugar content, malondialdehyde, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase); and significantly increasing the protein content, number of grains per pot, spike length, 100-grain weight, grain yield per pot, and harvest index of both wheat varieties, compared to untreated plants. These findings allow us to propose Ag/ZnO nanomaterial formulation as a promising growth- and productivity-improvement strategy for wheat cultivation.

Bioremediation, employing microorganisms to degrade or immobilize environmental contaminants, is a promising approach for mitigating agricultural pollution. Recent advancements have highlighted the potential of nanomaterials to enhance microbial remediation strategies in agroecosystems. This chapter synthesizes current knowledge on the synergistic application of nanomaterials and microbial intervention for bioremediation purposes in agricultural settings. We discuss the mechanisms underlying the enhanced bioremediation efficacy facilitated by nanomaterials, encompassing improved microbial activity, pollutant adsorption, and targeted delivery systems. Furthermore, we assess the environmental implications, challenges, and future prospects associated with this innovative approach. Understanding the interplay between nanomaterials and microbial communities is crucial for optimizing bioremediation strategies and fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
