“…So that foliar application of the Fe and Zn improved grain number up to 11 % and 13 %, respectively, in compared to control. This finding corroborates the ideas of Tarafdar et al (2014), who suggested that application of zinc nano-fertilizer on pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum L.) significantly improved shoot length, root length, root area, chlorophyll content, total soluble leaf protein, plant dry biomass, and increased the grain yield by 37.7 %. On the other hand spray of nTiO 2 increased grain number per spike up to 10 % over to control.…”

“…It has been documented that plants under optimum condition tend to increase growth period as much as possible which can result in improved leaf photosynthesis, light-use potential and higher yield (Cui et al, 2015). This study showed that nano-fertilizers and nano TiO 2 considerably influenced the straw (SY) and grain yield (GY), which corroborate the findings of a great deal of the previous work (Gao et al, 2013;Morteza et al, 2013;Klingenfuss, 2014;Tarafdar et al, 2014). Foliar utilization of micronutrients improved straw yield and grain yield up to 7 % and 16 % over to control, respectively.…”

Nano-fertilizers are new generation of the synthetic fertilizers which contain readily available nutrients in nano scale range. Nano fertilizers are preferred largely due to their efficiency and environment friendly nature compared to conventional chemical fertilizers. To evaluate the effects of foliar spray of micronutrient nano-fertilizer (iron and zinc) and nano-titanium dioxide (nTiO2) solution on grain yield and its components in barley under supplemental irrigation conditions, a field experiment was carried out in the semi-arid highland region of Maragheh, Iran. Barley plants were separately treated with of chelated nano-scale zinc oxide (ZnO) and ferric oxide (Fe2O3) suspensions during tillering stage, booting and milky stages. Results revealed that days to anthesis and maturity significantly increased after application of both nano-fertilizers. Furthermore, a considerable improvement was observed in grain mass, spike length, number of the grains per spike, chlorophyll content, grain yield and harvest index by application of nano-fertilizer. However the impact of nano zinc fertilizer was more prominent than iron. Foliar application of nTiO2 positively affected some morphophysiological characteristics like as days to anthesis, chlorophyll content and straw yield. The results suggest that the delivery of Zn into barley seedling through spray of nano-fertilizer can be an efficient nutrient management strategy in semi-arid regions. Overall, our result indicated that the integration of nanotechnology in fertilizer products can improve fertilizer use efficiency and significantly increase of barley yield. However, plant response to nanoparticles significantly depend on concentration and time of application as well as size, shape, and surface functionalization of the particles.

“…were recorded with foliar mineral fertilizer alone, respectively during two growing seasons. These results are in agreement with those obtained by El-Bramawy and Shaban (2010), Tarafdar et al (2014) and Vafa et al (2015) who stated positive response of crop yield to foliar application of nano-fertilizer. Also, Bakhtiari et al (2015) indicated that nano-fertilizer; increased wheat grain yield and its components.…”

“…HHB 67 plants as compared to the control after application of ZnNPs with the size ranging from 15 to 25 nm, and the grain yield at crop maturity was improved by 37% due to application of Zn nanofertilizer [246]. The better growth of plants in response to ZnO NPs was also reported by Pandey et al [247].…”

Nanoagrochemicals, such as nanopesticides, nanofertilizers or plant growth stimulating nanosystems, were primarily designed to increase solubility, enhance bioavailability, targeted delivery, controlled release and/or protection against degradation resulting in the reduced amount of applied active ingredients and finally in a decrease of dose-dependent toxicity/burden. This paper is a comprehensive up-to-date review related to the preparation and the biological activity of nanoformulations enabling gradual release of active ingredient into weeds and the body of pests and controlled release of nutrients to plants. The attention is also devoted to the decrease of direct environmental burden and economic benefits due to application of nanoformulations, where less amount of active ingredient is needed to achieve the same biological effect in comparison with bulk. The application of nanotechnology in the areas such as food packaging, food security, encapsulation of nutrients and development of new functional products is analysed. The use of nanoparticles in biosensors for detection of pathogens and contaminants as well as in DNA and gene delivery is discussed as well. Benefits and health risks of nanoagrochemicals are highlighted, and special attention is given to nanoecotoxicology and guidelines and regulatory documents related to the use of nanoformulations in agriculture and food industry.
