Ecological Perspectives on Nanobiostimulant Applications in Agriculture

Nanobiostimulants, or compounds with nanoscale engineering, are becoming more interesting as agricultural tools. Even if their potential for higher crop yields and stress tolerance is being investigated, evaluating their effects from an ecological standpoint is essential. From an ecological perspective, this chapter will cover the possible advantages of nanobiostimulants in improving plant growth and stress resilience. Additionally, any ecological concerns related to their application will be examined, such as inadvertent impacts on soil biota, the possibility of persistence and accumulation in the environment, and unforeseen ramifications for ecosystem functioning. The significance of adopting a comprehensive strategy that considers the ecological hazards as well as the agronomic advantages of nanobiostimulants in agriculture will be underlined.
