Nanobioherbicides and Plant Growth Hormone Synthesis and Stress‐Mediated Hormones

20241 citationUniversity of Benin

Abstract

Plant pests and diseases are accountable for 20% to 40% annual losses of crop worldwide. Pesticides, for example. fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides, are employed seriously in present-day agricultural methods to control pests. It is of the essence to build up commercial, top-performing bioherbicides that are less toxic to the environment, based on nanotechnology, which will assist plants in receiving a consistent nutrient supply and agricultural chemicals in a tolerable amount. Nanobioherbicides can protect plant life using one of two different mechanisms: crop protection nanoparticles (NPs) or NPs that function as carriers for conventional herbicides and can be sprayed on. The use of NPs in plant protection should be investigated. NPs provide exciting potential for decreasing overuse of herbicide while in addition to guaranteeing safe and efficient release. The nanostructured herbicide has the potential to reduce herbicide use while simultaneously enhancing crop productivity. By enhancing management techniques, this nanostructured materials innovation assures that current agricultural practices will be enhanced.
