- Nanotechnology is revolutionizing agriculture by enabling precise delivery of inputs like pesticides and fertilizers, as well as improving monitoring of plant health and soil quality.
- Key benefits include enhanced crop production and a reduced environmental impact, but this comes with challenges, particularly regarding regulations and the unknown long-term effects on the environment.
- Further research is crucial to understand the implications of nanotechnology in agriculture for soil, water, and public health, in order to develop informed regulations.
Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease that occurs in wheat is caused by and is a major risk to wheat yield. Although several research efforts focusing on FHB have been conducted in the past several decades, conditions have become more critical due to the increase in its virulent forms. In such a scenario, conferring complete resistance in plants seems to be difficult for handling this issue.
