Abstract
Strawberry cultivation is commercially viable worldwide due to its high market demand, as it bears fruits with high nutritional value and appealing taste. Though a wide range of high-yielding varieties are available, their dependence on growing conditions restricts their commercial sustainability. To ensure the sustainable production of strawberries, it is essential to work on the management of the nutritional and biotic stressors through effective utilization of nanoagrochemicals. The new generation of nanofertilizers can be a potential source of plant nutrition, which could have high efficacy in delivering the essential elements to plants for balanced growth and yield. Encapsulating the biopesticides in nanoformulations can enhance the effectiveness of pesticides, leading to the minimum use of synthetic pesticides for ecosystem safety. The current review examines the transformative impact of nanoagrochemicals on strawberry crop cultivation, specifically emphasizing the innovative utilization of nanofertilizers and nanopesticides. It investigates the potential advantages of enhanced nutrient management, improved soil quality, and augmented crop yields by using nanoagrochemicals.
期刊介绍:
Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology is the official journal of the International Society of Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology (ISBAB). The journal publishes high quality articles especially in the science and technology of biocatalysis, bioprocesses, agricultural biotechnology, biomedical biotechnology, and, if appropriate, from other related areas of biotechnology. The journal will publish peer-reviewed basic and applied research papers, authoritative reviews, and feature articles. The scope of the journal encompasses the research, industrial, and commercial aspects of biotechnology, including the areas of: biocatalysis; bioprocesses; food and agriculture; genetic engineering; molecular biology; healthcare and pharmaceuticals; biofuels; genomics; nanotechnology; environment and biodiversity; and bioremediation.
