“…Nanobiofertilizer improves soil fertility by various strategies including: (a) restoring nutrients by nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization; (b) enhancing nutrient absorption capacity of the soil; (c) siderophore production that chelates iron and sequesters heavy metals to make them unavailable for plants; (d) producing phytohormones and compatible solutes; (e) conserving soil moisture; and (f) developing resistance or tolerance in plants against biotic and abiotic stresses. They also enhance the nutrient use efficiency of plants [ 118 , 119 ].…”

Drastic changes in the climate and ecosystem due to natural or anthropogenic activities have severely affected crop production globally. This concern has raised the need to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective strategies, particularly for keeping pace with the demands of the growing population. The use of nanobiofertilizers in agriculture opens a new chapter in the sustainable production of crops. The application of nanoparticles improves the growth and stress tolerance in plants. Inoculation of biofertilizers is another strategy explored in agriculture. The combination of nanoparticles and biofertilizers produces nanobiofertilizers, which are cost-effective and more potent and eco-friendly than nanoparticles or biofertilizers alone. Nanobiofertilizers consist of biofertilizers encapsulated in nanoparticles. Biofertilizers are the preparations of plant-based carriers having beneficial microbial cells, while nanoparticles are microscopic (1–100 nm) particles that possess numerous advantages. Silicon, zinc, copper, iron, and silver are the commonly used nanoparticles for the formulation of nanobiofertilizer. The green synthesis of these nanoparticles enhances their performance and characteristics. The use of nanobiofertilizers is more effective than other traditional strategies. They also perform their role better than the common salts previously used in agriculture to enhance the production of crops. Nanobiofertilizer gives better and more long-lasting results as compared to traditional chemical fertilizers. It improves the structure and function of soil and the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and yield attributes of plants. The formation and application of nanobiofertilizer is a practical step toward smart fertilizer that enhances growth and augments the yield of crops. The literature on the formulation and application of nanobiofertilizer at the field level is scarce. This product requires attention, as it can reduce the use of chemical fertilizer and make the soil and crops healthy. This review highlights the formulation and application of nanobiofertilizer on various plant species and explains how nanobiofertilizer improves the growth and development of plants. It covers the role and status of nanobiofertilizer in agriculture. The limitations of and future strategies for formulating effective nanobiofertilizer are mentioned.

“…So plants uptake nanoparticles based on their nature, size, shape, and chemical composition (Rico et al 2011 ). It is explained that functionalization and surface modification of the nanoparticles can affect their absorption properties and accumulation by plants (Judy et al 2012 ; Shafiee-Masouleh et al 2014 ; Shafiei-Masouleh 2022 ). Haydar et al ( 2022 ) functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles surface by EDTA and used as a soil (one time after plantation; 10 and 50 mg kg −1 soils) and foliar application (5 and 10 mg L −1 on 30th, 45th, and 60th days after plantation) on mulberry plants.…”

“…Furthermore, it is said that nano-zero-valent iron is more toxic than Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in high concentrations (Jafari and Hatami 2022 ). Based on much research up until now (Nemati Lafmejani et al 2018 ; Ahmadi et al 2020 ; Abdoli et al 2020 ; Shafiei-Masouleh 2022 ; Haydar et al 2022 ), the application of fertilizers in nano-formulation and nano-sizes can increase nutrient efficiency through reducing toxicity, enhancing element absorption. Nano-fertilizer of iron can solve many problems of plants for iron absorption that are seen in alkaline soils.…”

Goldenrod ( Solidago virgaurea L.) is considered for their medicinal properties for humans. These properties are attributed to some volatile compounds that can be extracted from above- and underground organs of plants. More ingredients of medicinal plants are undoubtedly considered by herbal medicine activists. The study aimed to promote Solidago yield and quality under foliar application of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles that can be considered as a safe and healthy fertilizer on the basis of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory process about color additives. The experiment was performed with concentrations of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (0, 0.5, or 1 mg L −1 ) and foliar application times (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 times) on 4- to 5-leaf plants of Solidago virgaurea . Results showed that 4 times foliar application of 1 mg L −1 caused the best plant growth and mineral element contents (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, copper, and zinc) except for Fe content that the more the times of foliar application, the more the Fe content increased. However, the flavonoid (rutin and quercetin) and essential oils (caryophyllene, alpha-pinene, camphene, limonene, linalool, myrcene, and terpinene) as biochemical and medicinal qualities of the treated plants were remarkably promoted when 1 mg L −1 of nanoparticles was sprayed 5 times. Furthermore, the more the element contents, the more the ingredients. Finally, based on the goals of herbal medicine activists for the production of the essence, extract, or herb, both 5 and 4 times of foliar applications of ferric oxide nanoparticles are safe and may be economic and recommendable.

Moreover, the promotion of early flowering has been reported for chitosan NPs, ZnO NPs, and cadmium sulfide quantum dots ( Prasad et al , 2012 ; Marmiroli et al , 2020 ; Shafiei-Masouleh, 2022 ), as well as the induction of shoot branching by CNTs ( Tripathi et al , 2011 ).…”

Due to their unique properties, nanomaterials (NMs) behave peculiarly in biosystems. Regarding plants, the interactions of NMs can be interpreted on a spatial scale: from local interactions in cells to systemic effects on whole plants and on ecosystems. Interpreted on a time scale, the effects of NMs on plants may be immediate or subsequent. At the cellular level, the composition and structure of the cell wall and membranes are modified by NMs, promoting internalization. The effects of NMs on germination and seedling physiology and on the primary and secondary metabolisms in the shoot are realized at organ and organism levels. Nanomaterials interact with the beneficial ecological partners of plants. The effects of NMs on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and legume-rhizobia symbiosis can be stimulating or inhibitory, depending on the concentration and type of NM. Nanomaterials exert a negative effect on arbuscular mycorrhiza, and vice versa. Pollinators are exposed to NMs, which may affect plant reproduction. The substances released by the roots influence the availability of NMs in the rhizosphere and components of plant cells trigger internalization, translocation, and transformation of NMs. Understanding of the multilevel and bidirectional relationship between plants and NMs is of great relevance in practice.
