Nanotechnology as effective tool for improved crop production under changing climatic conditions
Original language description
Permanent changes in atmospheric composition and land use due to the anthropogenic activity result in climate change accompanied by frequent extreme weather such as prolonged drought periods or massive rainstorms. The increasing adverse impact of abiotic stresses such as elevated temperature, drought, increased soil salinity or floods, as well as enhanced incidences of pests and plant diseases on agricultural production result in a pronounced crop yield loss. To achieve crop yields needed for maintaining food security for the rapidly growing human population under changing climate conditions, appropriate management based on the latest scientific findings used on the global scale together with the responsible attitude of people is necessary. Nanoscale formulations characterized by the controlled and targeted release of active compounds, able to achieve the same effect using a lower dose than their corresponding bulk counterparts and being less toxic to nontarget organisms, provide an effective tool for improved crop production under changing climatic conditions. The aim of the contribution is to provide a comprehensive view of the adverse impacts of abiotic stresses on crops when climatic conditions change, which affect also the spreading of weeds, noxious insects, and plant diseases. The positive impact of various nanoparticles/nanoformulations applied as priming agents and fertilizers improving the growth, yield, and nutritional quality of crops, their important role in crop protection against harmful insects, fungal diseases and weeds as well as in mitigation of abiotic stresses, which could help to achieve improved crop yields under climate change conditions are discussed.
