| Summary: | At the global level, sustainable horticulture faces many challenges due to climate changes in addition to
limitations in water and land resources. Nanotechnology is an innovate strategy for sustainable agricultural
development. This eco-friendly technology is becoming vital in modern agricultural practices, due to its role in
improving plants production, protection with environmental security, biological supportability and financial
steadiness. Production of nano-fertilizers is considered as the most important alternative to the conventional
fertilizers and pesticides, due to their potential roles in crop production, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers
and mitigating the adverse impacts in soil. The aims of the current study were to highlight nanotechnology in
terms of several important definitions including; nano-fertilization, biosynthesis of nano-fertilizers and the use of
nanomaterial as an alternative to the traditional mineral fertilizers. This is in addition to the control of nutrient
release in the soil, nanoparticles (NPs) role in enhancing the bio-agent activity, and the fate of nanomaterials in
plants with respect to the toxicological data of any nano-product. |
