Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the use of engineered nanomaterials to suppress plant disease and enhance crop yield
Alia D. Servin,Wade H. Elmer,Arnab Mukherjee,Roberto De La Torre-Roche,Helmi Hamdi,Jason C. White,Prem S. Bindraban,Christian O. Dimkpa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the current literature on the use of nanoscale nutrients (metals, metal oxides, carbon) to suppress crop disease and subsequently enhance growth and yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in nano-enabled fertilizers and pesticides: a critical review of mechanisms of action
Ishaq O. Adisa,Venkata L. Reddy Pullagurala,Jose R. Peralta-Videa,Christian O. Dimkpa,Wade H. Elmer,Jorge L. Gardea-Torresdey,Jason C. White +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of nanomaterials in agriculture as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, or nano-enabled sensors to increase crop yield is gaining increasing interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of metallic oxide nanoparticles to enhance growth of tomatoes and eggplants in disease infested soil or soilless medium
Wade H. Elmer,Jason C. White +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether foliar sprays of micronutrient NP could affect plant health in disease infested soils, and found that NP of CuO, MnO, or ZnO, their bulked equivalents, or their sulfate salts were compared to untreated eggplants and held in the greenhouse in soilless medium infested with the Verticillium wilt fungus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The future of nanotechnology in plant pathology.
Wade H. Elmer,Jason C. White +1 more
TL;DR: Most reports summarized herein are directed toward pathogen inhibition using metalloid/metallic oxide nanoparticles as bactericides/fungicides and as nanofertilizers to enhance health.
