ABSTRACT

In the modern era, technology is continuously and quickly growing. Nanotechnology is one such technology which is of great concern worldwide. It is basically the manufacturing of particles, materials and products within the nano-scale. At nano scale, properties of matter are altered due to reduced molecular size and changed interactions between molecules. Nano formulations enable smaller quantity of fertilisers/fungicides/pesticides to be used very effectively due to less drug-loading capacity, increase in surface area to volume ratio so that only the important fraction of atom lies on surface, high reactivity, high mobility and better uptake of nutrients by the plants. This is the most imperative benefit of using nano formulations over conventional formulations. Nanotechnology has many applications in vegetable production including enhanced seed germination, seedling development, biotic and abiotic stress detection and management, yield and quality enhancement. In this review, we have focused on the use of nanotechnology for the production of vegetable crops. The review shall help vegetable scientists to plan the vegetable experiments utilising nanotechnological techniques and gives the idea about overall scope and demand of nanotechnology in the olericulture sector which is an aid to conventional methods of vegetable production.

摘要

在现代，技术不断且快速地发展。纳米技术就是这样一种在世界范围内备受关注的技术。它基本上是在纳米尺度内制造颗粒、材料和产品。在纳米尺度上，由于分子尺寸减小和分子间相互作用的改变，物质的性质发生了变化。由于载药量较小、表面积与体积比增加使得只有重要的原子部分位于表面、高反应性、高迁移率和更好的植物对养分的吸收。这是使用纳米配方相对于传统配方最重要的好处。纳米技术在蔬菜生产中有许多应用，包括促进种子发芽、幼苗发育、生物和非生物胁迫检测和管理、产量和质量提高。在这篇综述中，我们重点关注纳米技术在蔬菜作物生产中的应用。审查将帮助蔬菜科学家规划利用纳米技术技术的蔬菜实验，并给出纳米技术在油菜领域的总体范围和需求，这是对传统蔬菜生产方法的帮助。
