Zinc oxide nanoparticles: a review of their biological synthesis, antimicrobial activity, uptake, translocation and biotransformation in plants (2017, background): “Increased yield is directly linked to the decrease in number of pathogenic microorganisms and also to the potential nutritional value of the NPs themselves, mainly for the essential micronutrients necessary for host defence [12].”
Effects of Manganese Nanoparticle Exposure on Nutrient Acquisition in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2018, background): “Thus, with better understanding and management, the beneficial aspects of nano-enabled fertilizers can become a highly valued tool for addressing the problem of global food security [12,13].”
Applications of Nanotechnology in Plant Growth and Crop Protection: A Review (2019, background): “Inorganic NPs, such as ZnO, Cu, SiO2, TiO2, CaO, MgO, MnO and AgNPs play important roles in various arena of plant protection including microbial activity and bacterial diseases [141,146].”
Effects of Stabilized Nanoparticles of Copper, Zinc, Manganese, and Iron Oxides in Low Concentrations on Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Seed Germination: Nanotoxicants or Nanonutrients? (2016, background): “Indeed, application of nanofertilizers in agriculture is an important strategy to increasing agronomic production and ensuring global food and nutritional security (Liu and Lal 2015; Servin et al. 2015).”
