Impact of copper-based nanoparticles on economically important plants
Original language description
Intensification of agriculture over the years was also accompanied by the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, and monoculture cropping, which caused serious environmental problems reflected in the degradation of soil fertility, environmental pollution, and decline in biodiversity. Considering the increasing human population and ongoing climate change at present, it is inevitable to focus on the sustainable intensification approach in agricultural systems to achieve increased yields without adverse environmental impact, reducing the dependence on chemical input but focusing more on biological inputs. Nanoscale materials showing the same chemical composition as microscale/bulk ones usually have different physical and chemical properties and a distinct impact on the environment, including living organisms, and their formulations show controlled release and targeted delivery of an active ingredient. Copper serving as a micronutrient is essential for plant development and growth; however, at higher doses, it effectively inhibits the growth of plants and exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, and insecticidal activities. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview focused on the impact of Cu-based nanoparticles (NPs) on economically important crops, including cereals, legumes, and some important vegetables and fruits crucial for healthy human nutrition. The beneficial effect of the Cu-based NPs used as fertilizers on the growth and development of the crops is analyzed, and their effectiveness as nanoherbicides, nanofungicides, and nanobactericides for crop protection is discussed. The benefits of green synthesized Cu-based NPs using plant extracts over those fabricated using chemical methods are outlined. The effects of particle size on the biological activity of the Cu-based NPs are considered, and their effectiveness is compared with that of their bulk counterparts. The mechanisms of action of the Cu-based NPs with a particular emphasis on nano-specific toxicity are highlighted as well.
