Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled “The Recent Advances in the Application and Influence of Nanomaterials/Nanotechnology in Plant–Soil Systems” focuses on exploring the latest innovations and impacts of nanotechnology on the intricate relationship between plants and soil. Nanomaterials have emerged as powerful tools in agriculture, offering novel solutions for enhancing soil fertility, improving nutrient uptake efficiency, mitigating environmental stresses, and promoting sustainable farming practices. This issue will delve into various facets such as the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials tailored for agricultural use, their mechanisms of interaction with plants and soil microbiota, and their effects on crop growth, productivity, and quality. Moreover, it will address concerns regarding nanotoxicity, environmental fate, and regulatory considerations to ensure safe and responsible deployment in agricultural settings. By examining recent advancements and potential challenges, this Special Issue aims to provide valuable insights into how nanotechnology can revolutionize agricultural practices and contribute to global food security in a sustainable manner.
