Abstract
The development and growth of crops were impacted by climate change, leading to a decrease in crop production. The issue of food security can arise from a decline in agricultural output. Emerging from the confluence of nanotechnology with agriculture and materials science, the emerging discipline of nano priming enhances the effectiveness of priming agents by utilizing the distinct physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs). By carefully dotting seeds or substrates with engineered nanomaterials, this method seeks to improve essential physiological processes or material qualities via nanoscale targeted interactions. To further reduce reliance on fertilizers and pesticides, nano-seed priming improved metabolic, biochemical, antioxidant, and phytohormone pathways; this, in turn, promoted abiotic and biotic stresses. An introduction to nanoparticles and their potential uses in environmentally friendly farming practices is given in this chapter.
