Plant Nano-nutrition: Perspectives and Challenges

Response of Cultivated Broccoli and Red Cabbage Crops to Mineral, Organic and Nano-Fertilizers

“…In general, about 50-70 % of the applied conventional chemical fertilizers get lost in the environment causing economic, agronomical, environmental concerns and health threats. Therefore, new alternatives should be used for eco-friendly, economic and organic or sustainable agriculture such as organic-, bio-and nano-fertilizers as well as slow or controlled release fertilizers (El-Ramady et al 2018).…”

Nanoagriculture: A Holistic Approach for Sustainable Development of Agriculture

“…Nanotechnology modifies soils by the application of some natural nanoparticles which may include zeolites and nano-clays besides monitoring the microbes in soils. The advantages of using nanomaterial in soils include [56]:…”

Nanoparticles: a Novel Approach for Sustainable Agro-productivity

“…Most of the applied fertilizers are rendered unavailable to plants due to many factors, such as leaching, degradation by hydrolysis, photolysis and decomposition (Belal and El-Ramady 2016; Chhipa 2016). Hence, it is necessary to minimize nutrient losses during fertilization processes and to increase the crop yield through the exploitation of new applications with the help of nanoparticles Pulimi and Subramanian 2016;El-Ramady et al 2017b). Fertilizers play a pivotal role in increasing the agricultural production by up to 35-40%.…”

“…3 (2019) NANOPARTICLES: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRO-PRODUCTIVITY be coated with nano-membranes that facilitate the slow and steady release of nutrients (Table 1; Singh and Prasad 2016). Furthermore, nutrients derived from nanoencapsulation or nanofertilzers have some properties like the controlled release of chemical fertilizers regulating plant growth, enhancing target activity and making them effective to crops demand (De Rosa et al 2010;Nair et al 2010;Mani and Mondal 2016;El-Ramady et al 2017b).…”

“…The interaction between nanoparticles under soil-plant system can consider one the most important agroenvironmental studies. Therefore, several studies have been focused on these agro-environmental studies including the interactions between nanoparticles under soil-plant systems (Manceau et al 2008;Anjum et al 2013;Soni et al 2015;Belal and El-Ramady 2016;Majumdar et al 2016;Wu et al 2016;Tripathi et al 2017;, the impacts of applied nanoparticles on the microbial community in soils (Pawlett et al 2013;Chunjaturas et al 2014;Sri Sindhura et al 2014;Simonin and Richaume 2015;Antisari et al 2016;Pallavi et al 2016;Read et al 2016;Samarajeewa et al 2017), the using of nanoparticles in remediation both of soils and waters (An and Dong 2015;Cecchin et al 2016;Ghosh et al 2016;Gonçalves 2016;De La Cueva Bueno et al 2017;El-Ramady et al 2017a;Fernandes et al 2017;Kuppusamy et al 2017), the enhancement of nanofertilizers and nanopesticides for the plant growth and its protection (Davarpanah et al 2016;El-Ramady et al 2017b;, the using of soil nano-reclaimants and nano-conditioners under sustainable agro-production (Patra et al 2016;Fernandes et al 2017;), nano-enhancement for crop productivity under stress (Abdel-Haliem et al 2017;Rizwan et al 2017;Tassi et al 2017), etc.…”
