New Insights for Improving Agriculture Soils through Nanotechnology

Abstract

Different efforts have been made especially in the fields of nanotechnology that employed various combinations of nanoparticles to overcome the stresses occurred in the agricultural lands. Nanoparticles that potentially designed through nanotechnology applied to the soil in the form nanofertilizers that increased the yield also good impact on soil composition. Application of nano-SiO2 improves also seed germination throiugh rooting applications, chlorophyll content with proline accumulation. Soil composition also improved the overall fruits and vegetables varieties in such a way that nanoparticles makes intact combinations with inner layers of soil. Biological applications of iron sulfate (FeSO4) in the form of foliar spray also showed excellent resistance to the salinity stress tolerance in the case of sunflower cultivars. Nano zeolite; another type of newly modified materials efficient for long term delivery of nutrients and minerals in soil composition and mineral balance ensures for plant growth. Nanopesticides can be used for efficient crop protection also promote plant stress tolerance and soil enhancement. Nano-Si that improves the various other stresses in plants species such as nickle and chromium. Nanotechnology has several advantages over other technologies due to cost efficient and simple to use and imply on more effective treatment and remediation methods.
