“…Moreover, in rice grains, genotype variation of the Zn element content is well established, because these grains are mostly categorized as a very poor source of Zn content. Otherwise, ZnSO 4 , with the appropriate dose, is a broadly traditional soil application that functions to intensify the amount of Zn in tissues and maximize both the growth and yields [ 10 , 11 ]. Preventing the problem of Zn binding [ 12 ] leads to the increased probability of obtaining nutrients, notably when a cultivable soil condition restricts root uptake [ 13 ].…”

Applications of metal oxide nanoparticles in the agriculture sector are being extensively included as the materials are considered superior. In the present work, zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO NPs), with a developing fertilizer, is applied in the fortification of rice grain yield and nutrient uptake enhancement. To evaluate the role of ZnO NP, two field experiments were conducted during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. ZnO NPs were small, nearly spherical, and their sizes equal to 31.4 nm, as proved via the dynamic light scattering technique. ZnO NPs were applied as a fertilizer in different concentrations, varying between 20 and 60 mg/L as a foliar spray. The mixture of ZnSO4 and ZnO NP40 ameliorated yield component and nutrients (N, K, and Zn) uptake was enhanced compared to traditional ZnSO4 treatment. Nevertheless, the uptake of the phosphorous element (P) was adversely affected by the treatment of ZnO NPs. Thus, treatment via utilizing ZnO NPs as a foliar with a very small amount (40 ppm) with of basal ZnSO4 led to a good improvement in agronomic and physiological features; eventually, higher yield and nutrient-enriched rice grain were obtained.

“…These studies focus on the transfer of response of protein and other chemical complexes mediated by certain nanoparticles into the plant cells (Brandelli 2015;Rai et al 2015;Álvarez et al 2016;Sarmast and Salehi 2016). Therefore, further investigations in the nanobiotechnology are needed to offer promising prospects in improving the production and management agricultural crops as well as the production of transgenic plants (Bhau et al 2016;Misra et al 2016;Balaure et al 2017;Siddiqi and Husen 2017a). Furthermore, the crop productivity also could be enhanced through using the nanobiotechnology by applied nano-encapsulated pesticides and fertilizers, nanoremediation for soil and water, and nanosensors.…”

N ANOTECHNOLOGY has been revolutionized penetrating all sectors in our life through the nanoscience as an essential science for a wide range of technologies. Amazing achievements resulted from this nanotechnology including all agricultural fields such as plant nutrition and crop productivity, energy sector, food sector, and plant biotechnology. A conjugation between plant biotechnology and nanotechnology has been produced an important science called plant bio-nanotechnology. Several fields have been invaded through different nanobiotechnology applications in agriculture including (1) the nanotechnology of encapsulated agro-chemicals, (2) the monitoring of different environmental stresses and crop conditions using nanobiosensors, (3) the improvement of crop production and ameliorating plants against diseases and (4) solution several environmental problems. The crop productivity also could be improved using some new agro-chemicals (e.g., nanofertilizers and nanopesticides). These agro-chemicals are very effective in delivering encapsulating nanomaterials and then enhancement the productivity of crops as well as the suppress plant pests and diseases and protecting the environment from pollution. On the other hand, nanoparticles could enter the food chain via different nano-agrochemicals or nano-processed foods. Therefore, many approaches including uptake of nanoparticles by plants, entry and bio-distribution of nanoparticles into the food chain are needed before using of different bionanotechnological tools in agro-production sector. Further new regulations should be created or rebuilt for new approaches in plant bionanotechnology. Therefore, this review will focus on our needs and risks in the plant nanobiotechnology.

“…A changing climate and growing population are steering plant scientists and agricultural engineers to innovate improved tools to secure food production with less environmental impact. Nanotechnologies are one such novel tool that can be explored to solve this longstanding problem [ 1 – 3 ]. Nanotechnology has been predicted to become an important and integral part of the food production chain, serving, for example, a role in crop protection [ 4 – 6 ], fertilizers [ 7 , 8 ], biosensors and precision farming [ 9 ], and food packaging and safety [ 10 ].…”

Maghemite Nanoparticles Acts as Nanozymes, Improving Growth and Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Brassica napus

et al. 2017

Yttrium doping-stabilized γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were studied for its potential to serve as a plant fertilizer and, through enzymatic activity, support drought stress management. Levels of both hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation, after drought, were reduced when γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were delivered by irrigation in a nutrient solution to Brassica napus plants grown in soil. Hydrogen peroxide was reduced from 151 to 83 μM g −1 compared to control, and the malondialdehyde formation was reduced from 36 to 26 mM g −1 . Growth rate of leaves was enhanced from 33 to 50% growth compared to fully fertilized plants and SPAD-measurements of chlorophyll increased from 47 to 52 suggesting improved agronomic properties by use of γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles as fertilizer as compared to chelated iron.
