Mechanism of Action of Nanopesticide Derived from Microorganism for the Alleviation of Abiotic and Biotic Stress Affecting Crop Productivity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanotechnology for Agriculture: Crop Production & Protection

Abstract

Rise in the human population, damage of arable land, resistance of pest and diseases, decline inaccessibility of water for agriculture and climate changes are the major coercions to an improvement of food production worldwide. In order to mitigate these global challenges, there is a need to provide a sustainable, green, clean and safe food to mankind by utilization of green technologies. Leveraging on the advantages of nanomaterial that includes tolerance to environmental stresses, stimulation of seed germination, seed protection, targeted delivery of pesticides, prevention of pest and disease, as well as greater yield and biomass improvement of agricultural crops substantiates their application in sustainable agriculture. Also, the recent advancement, development, and commercialization of bio-nanopesticides have singled them out as a permanent replacement to chemical pesticides because of their broad-spectrum pest protection effectiveness. We review different studies and examine the mechanism of actions utilized by nanopesticides for the management of abiotic and biotic stress for improved food security and enhanced agricultural output toward the delivery of nontoxic food, environmental persistence, and an eco-friendly and healthy planet.
