The Significance Of Nanomaterials In Enhancing Soil Microbial Communitya Short Review

Abstract

A severe threat to agricultural output and sustainability are global problems including soil erosion, contaminants, and agricultural productivity loss brought on by urbanization and agricultural expansion. Many technological advancements are being used to improve the quality of contaminated soils or purify contaminants in the soil, but they haven't been able to restore or improve the condition of the soil to the desired levels because they are expensive, impractical, or, to a lesser extent, require a lot of labour. Recent developments in nanotechnology promise to raise crop yields and soil quality indices while maintaining environmental sustainability. It has been discovered that the existence of nanomaterials (NMs) within soils may influence or enhance the efficiency of rhizosphere microbes or farming crucial microbes, allowing the access of nutrients to crops and improving the functioning of root systems as well as crop growth in general, creating up an opportunity for the enhancement of soil health. It could be useful to assess nanotechnology in order to learn more about the actual utilization of NMs for enhancing soil health.
