Abstract

Engineered nanoparticles have become important in the areas of nanotechnology which entered into all aspects of human life now-a-days. In field of agriculture also, nanotechnology has been used. Nanoparticles have promising solution over traditional agricultural practices. In seed technology long term storage and field stand are the major challenges which is very difficult to handle. Seeds nanopriming enhances seed germination and improves crop productivity. It also improves the biochemical parameters of the seeds. Nanoparticles also have antifungal and antibacterial activity against many fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. In this article we reviewed the importance of nanopriming for better plant health management. In this review article emphasis has been given on the how the nanoparticle can be better used for as priming agents for better seed storage, field stand without any negative effect on the biochemical parameters. The recent achievement on use of nanoparticle as nanoprimin

Keywords

Antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, nanopriming, nanotechnology

Conclusion

Nanopriming reduced the difference between the time of sowing and seedling emergence and improve the germination rate and total germination percentage. Priming with nanoparticles can also increase the shoot and root length, improve fresh and dry weight. Nanoparticles are also have a great potential against fungal and bacterial pathogen. It can inhibit or suppress the growth of fungi and bacteria in both in vitro and in vivo condition. In the future the cited work can utilized by the research scholar and scientific community for the better management of seed related problem with better plant stand in the field condition.
