Interaction Between Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and PGPR on Plant Growth and Development

Mg–Al LDH nanosheets as a nanotechnological tool in agriculture: an exploratory toxicity evaluation study

“…Herein, we report for the first time the growth improvement of a biocontrol fungus and plant growth promoter, a desirable characteristic for developing nanoparticles that transport products of agricultural interest (such as biofertilizers or bio-controllers). 80 These would traditionally act as protective controlled release vehicles and, in turn, could enhance the growth of the microorganism, favoring its initial development, establishment, colonization, and development of its function in crops. Different authors have studied the synergistic impact between nanoparticles and bacterial plant growth promoters in plants, with reports of improved stability and viability of microbial populations and subsequent improvements in plant health.…”

“…Different authors have studied the synergistic impact between nanoparticles and bacterial plant growth promoters in plants, with reports of improved stability and viability of microbial populations and subsequent improvements in plant health. 80–82 For example, in 2022, Pavlicevic et al 23 reported that using nanoparticles as a vehicle for plant growth-promoting microorganisms increased the count of microorganisms that subsequently colonized and improved plant growth. Thus, the synthesized nanoclays could be utilized as nano enhancers or nanomaterials that carry foliar and soil inoculants to improve plant health against biotic and abiotic stresses.…”
