Traditional ferti lizers suffer from limitations like nutrient fixation\, leaching\, and vol atilization\, resulting in only 50% of nitrogen being effectively utilized \, causing environmental damage and economic losses. Nanotechnology offers a promising solution\, with recent advances enabling precise nutrient del ivery through nano-fertilizers tailored to crop needs.\n\nThis presentatio n highlights how nanotechnology is being used in plant nutrition\, discuss ing progress and challenges in developing biocompatible foliar and soil-ba sed nano-fertilizers to boost nutrient uptake in vital crops.\n\nLearn mor e: https://mcgill.ca/x/Uex \n DTSTART:20230920T183000Z DTEND:20230920T183000Z LOCATION:Duggan House Annex\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1Y2\, 3740 rue McTav ish SUMMARY:TISEDTalk: How do we unleash the potential of nano-fertilization to improve the environmental sustainability of agricultural crop production?
