Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of nanomaterials in soil has become an unavoidable issue, so it is worth conducting in-depth research on their effects on crops (plants), soil quality, and soil microorganisms to understand whether they are beneficial or harmful to plant production. It is also important to balance the advantages and disadvantages of nanomaterials. Nanoagriculture is currently a popular research topic, as are the development, effectiveness, and potential risks of nanofertilizers and nanopesticides. This Special Issue is dedicated to studying the impact and utilization effects of nanomaterials on plant production with the aim of addressing their sustainable development within agriculture.
