In the pursuit of sustainable agriculture and clean environment, nano-fertilizers are emerging as a viable alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers. This is attributed to enhanced properties of nano-fertilizer such as stable dispersion in media, and bioavailability in plants. Boron nanoparticle based formulation can be used as a fertilizer to solve challenges associated with micronutrient boron, narrowly balanced between its deficiency and toxicity in plants. In this study, boron oxide nanoparticles (nano boron) were biologically synthesized. A comparative analysis was conducted between nano boron and commercially available borax (a standard boron fertilizer) after foliar application on potato plants. The study further encompasses time series, and correlation analyses to assess the impact of nano boron on agronomic and productivity parameters. The minimized dosage of nano boron enhanced photosystem II efficiency, plant biomass, and tuber yield, outperforming conventional borax. Nano boron is a potent, minimal-input, maximum-output solution for potato productivity. This study contributes valuable insights into the field of sustainable agriculture and food production, advocating for the adoption of green nanotechnology and setting a new paradigm in resource-efficient crop cultivation. Subject terms: sustainable agriculture, nano-fertilizers, bioavailability, boron oxide nano particles, photosystem II efficiency

Boron (B) is an essential element for an adequate development of citrus orchards. However, citrus trees are vulnerable to high B concentrations, generating morphological and physiological alterations incompatible with the proper production of citrus. In this sense, citrus rootstocks can provide valuable capabilities to citrus trees including tolerance to different stresses. The objective of this work is the characterization of 2247 × 6070–02–2 citrus rootstock using as a reference Carrizo citrange rootstock under B toxicity conditions (2.5 mM boric acid). Carrizo citrange is a diploid hybrid, and 2247 × 6070–02–2 is a novel low-HLB-sensitive tetraploid. B excess effects were analyzed after four weeks of treatment using 0.05 (control) and 2.5 mM (toxicity) H3BO3 concentrations, respectively, in hydroponic growth conditions. The characterization of 2247 × 6070–02–2 rootstock compared to Carrizo citrange was performed by measuring physiological parameters in leaves related to photosynthesis, stress oxidative responses, B content, and gene expression. The lower transpiration rate and, especially, the higher expression of the CsXIP1;1 gene and the better antioxidant defense mechanisms shown by 2247 × 6070–02–2 make this rootstock more tolerant to high B content than Carrizo citrange.
