“…These improvements in seedling growth may be attributed to both Cu and Se as plant essential micro-nutrients that have direct and indirect roles in several plant physiological processes [ 55 ], as well as preventing plant damage from environmental stresses and promoting photosynthesis [ 56 , 57 ]. The positive impact of nanofertilizers was confirmed by Shalaby et al [ 22 ], as well as in studies on strawberry [ 33 , 35 ] and rosemary [ 54 ].…”

Strawberry production presents special challenges due the plants’ shallow roots. The rooting stage of strawberry is a crucial period in the production of this important crop. Several amendments have been applied to support the growth and production of strawberry, particularly fertilizers, to overcome rooting problems. Therefore, the current investigation was carried out to evaluate the application of biological nanofertilizers in promoting strawberry rooting. The treatments included applying two different nanofertilizers produced biologically, nano-selenium (i.e., 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg L−1) and nano-copper (i.e., 50 and 100 mg L−1), plus a control (untreated seedlings). The rooting of strawberry seedlings was investigated by measuring the vegetative growth parameters (root weight, seedling weight, seedling length, and number of leaves), plant enzymatic antioxidants (catalase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase activity), and chlorophyll content and its fluorescence and by evaluating the nutritional status (content of nutrients in the fruit and their uptake). The results showed that the applied nanofertilizers improved the growth, photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant content, and nutritional status of the seedlings compared to the control. A high significant increase in nutrient contents reached to more than 14-fold, 6-fold, 5-folf, and 4-fold for Cu, Mn, N, and Se contents, respectively, due to the applied nanofertilizers compared with the control. The result was related to the biological roles of both Se and CuO in activating the many plant enzymes. Comparing the Se with the CuO nanofertilizer, Cu had the strongest effect, which was shown in the higher values in all studied properties. This study showed that nanofertilizers are useful to stimulate strawberry seedling growth and most likely would also be beneficial for other horticultural crops. In general, the applied 100 ppm of biological nano-Se or nano-CuO might achieve the best growth of strawberry seedlings under growth conditions in greenhouses compared to the control. Along with the economic dimension, the ecological dimension of biological nanofertilizers still needs more investigation.

“…A strong relationship between nanofertilizers and crop growth has been reported in the literature for banana [ 11 ], strawberry [ 33 ], maize [ 53 ], and rosemary [ 54 ]. As far we know, however, there are no published reports concerning the effects of soil-applied CuO or Se nanofertilizers on the rooting of strawberry seedlings.…”

“…Elsayed et al utilized nHA particles as a phosphorus nano-fertilizer on the Rosmarinus officinalis plants compared to conventional NPK fertilizer. Results showed that the rosemary oil component yield in nHA nano-fertilizer was higher than conventional NPK, showing promising results in improving yield on rosemary plant [41]. Sharma et al prepared zinc and magnesium doped nHA particles modified with urea to evaluate their performance as fertilizers.…”

As a raw material, phosphorus availability in agriculture has been a critical concern in terms of phosphate rock consumption related to a price-dependent supply-demand chain. Novel approaches have been proposed for alternative phosphorus sources in agricultural applications. Although nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) is a commonly used bioceramic material, its utilization as an alternative phosphorus fertilizer is an emerging field. Phosphogypsum (PG), a by-product of wet process phosphoric acid production, is a promising raw material for nHA production. With an approximate 300 Mton annual accumulation rate of PG puts pressure on the research for introducing alternative strategies for the resource utilization of legacy PG piles in an environment-friendly and cost-efficient manner. Valorization of PG as the calcium and phosphorus precursor in nHA production would both provide an efficient waste management strategy and low-cost raw material. This study gives a brief review of the various synthesis routes on PG-derived nHA and criticizes nHA utilization as a phosphorus fertilizer.
