Tradi tional fertilizers suffer from limitations like nutrient fixation\, leachi ng\, and volatilization\, resulting in only 50% of nitrogen being effectiv ely utilized\, causing environmental damage and economic losses. Nanotechn ology offers a promising solution\, with recent advances enabling precise nutrient delivery through nanofertilizers tailored to crop needs.\n\nThis presentation highlights how nanotechnology is being used in plant nutritio n\, discussing progress and challenges in developing biocompatible foliar and soil-based nanofertilizers to boost nutrient uptake in vital crops.\n \nLearn more and register: https://mcgill.ca/x/Uex\n DTSTART:20231017T180000Z DTEND:20231017T190000Z SUMMARY:TISEDTalk: How do we unleash the potential of nano-fertilization to improve the environmental sustainability of agricultural crop production?
