Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the principal staple food grain crops of the world. Wheat is constantly suffering from plethora of biotic and abiotic stresses leading to huge economic losses. To address these challenges, innovative technologies which have potential to enhance wheat yield and reduce the risk of various biotic and environmental stresses are required to be introduced in modern agriculture. Among these technological advancements, nanotechnology is gathering significant contemplation due to its wide spectrum applications in devising nanofertilizer, nanopesticide, nanoherbicide, nanosensor, and smart delivery systems for controlled and sustained release of agrochemicals in agriculture. So far, both beneficial and negative effects of nanoproducts on agronomic traits, yield, and productivity of plants including modification in the nutritional value of food crops have been observed. The efficacy of nanomaterial also depends on mechanism and pathways of penetration, uptake, and migration of nanoparticles along with application technology to reduce toxicity and adverse effects in wheat. In view of the acclaimed reports on the use of nanotechnology as an emerging tool in wheat research, the present chapter summarizes application of nanomaterial for (i) wheat growth promotion; (ii) protection from biotic and abiotic stresses; (iii) surveillance, monitoring, and detection of wheat pests; and (iv) storage, quality control, and food grain packaging. Here an attempt has also been made to review the challenges, limitations, and future prospects of nanotechnology to combat biotic and abiotic stresses for sustaining wheat production system.
