Possibilities of using nanotechnology to improve spring rapeseed germ quality in the context of integrated production requirements

Sustainable agricultural policies are leaning towards the use of silver and copper nanocolloids (AgNK, CuNK), which are the most widely used compounds among nanomaterials in various fields, especially in the agricultural sector. Plants are an essential component of the ecosystem and the most important source of food for humanity, therefore, it is important to understand the effects of nanocolloids silver and copper on plant growth and development. This article presents the effects of the above nanocolloids on plants, in terms of the elemental content of a food product in the form of dried rapeseed sprouts obtained from a field crop with a foliar spray containing silver and copper metal nanocolloids.
