“…In general, these composites not only serve as micronutrient carriers but also have reduced toxicity by allowing a controlled delivery and promote water uptake capacity of the plants. 29 Furthermore, other NPs, such as multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) (10 nm and 25 nm inner and outer diameter, respectively), have been reported to act as plant growth regulators by themselves. 30 Khodakovskaya et al 30 reported that tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants grown in soil supplemented with MWCNT produced twice as much fruit compared to plants grown in regular soil, causing no effect on soil microbial communities.…”

Nanotechnology application in agriculture has been increasing over recent years and constitutes a valuable tool to reach the goal of sustainable food production worldwide. A wide array of nanomaterials has been used to develop strategies of delivery of bioactive compounds aimed to boost the production and protection of crops. The controlled delivery of molecules from different sources including pesticides, fertilizers, DNA/RNA and proteins opens a field of vast opportunities to utilize nanovehicles in plants. However, their extensive use is being held back because of a limited understanding of their mechanism of action, as they may cause either growth-promoting effects or cytotoxicity, depending on application dose. The interlinkages of nanomaterials with plant, soil and also holobiont systems are fundamental for interpreting their behavior in each complex ecosystem. In this review we summarize recent advances in the field, focusing on the uptake and translocation mechanisms and the omics studies that allow us to integrate data and provide insight into the nature of soil-plant-nanoparticle interactions.

“…Carbon-based nanomaterials including nanofibers and nanotubes can be loaded with metals such as iron, zinc, and copper that represent micronutrients necessary for crop growth. For this reason, they can be used as growth promoters by guaranteeing and enhancing nutrient delivery and at the same time also regulating water absorption. , …”

Phosphorus, provided by phosphorus fertilisers, is one of the essential nutrients for the healthy growth of plants. Phosphate rocks are strategic resources for phosphorus in agriculture and their supply will become very limited in the near future. As a raw material, phosphorus availability shows a decreasing trend over the last decades upon excessive consumption of phosphate rocks. Moreover, excessive application of conventional phosphorus fertilisers is the primary driving force for eutrophication. Utilisation of engineered nanomaterials in agriculture provides precise delivery of nutrients, together with decreasing the negative environmental impacts of excessive usage of mineral fertilisers. Studies on enhancing the phosphorus uptake efficiency have priority in order to maintain agricultural productivity. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles can be an innovative approach as a new group of phosphorus fertilisers, offering promising potential for enhancement of agronomic yield and reduction of eutrophication. This study provides a brief review of novel approaches for developing more strategic and efficient routes for phosphorus uptake upon hydroxyapatite utilisation in order to improve crop production.
