2 | 2021 article | Some emerging opportunities of nanotechnology development for soilless and microgreen farming Mohd Zobir Hussein Global food demand has increased in tandem with the world?s growing population, prompting calls for a new sustainable agricultural method. The scarcity of fertile soil and the world?s agricultural land have also become major concerns. Soilless and microgreen farming combined with nanotechnology may provide a revolutionary solution as well as a more sustainable and productive alternative to conventional farming. In this review, we look at the potential of nanotechnology in soilless and microgreen farming. The available but limited nanotechnology approaches in soilless farming include: (1) Nutrients nanoparticles to minimize nutrient losses and improve nutrient uptake and bioavailability in crops; (2) nano-sensing to provide real-time detection of p H, temperature, as well as quantifying the amount of the nutrient, allowing desired conditions control; and (3) incorporation of nanoparticles to improve the quality of substrate culture as crop cultivation growing medium. Meanwhile, potentia..... 595 hits |
