Impact of Nanomaterials on Soil Remediation and Plant Growth in Flood-Prone Areas

Heavy metal contamination and increased flooding pose significant threats to agriculture and food security. Nanomaterials offer promising solutions for mitigating these challenges. This review explores the application of various nanomaterials in heavy metal remediation and for enhancing plant growth in flood-prone areas. For remediation, iron-based, carbon-based, and metal oxide nanomaterials are discussed, focusing on their mechanisms such as adsorption, redox reactions, and precipitation. For plant growth, the use of nanofertilizers and nanoparticles like silicon dioxide is examined regarding nutrient delivery, stress alleviation, and improved water utilization. The review also covers the impact of nanomaterials on soil properties including structure, microbial communities, and chemical characteristics. Case studies highlight field trials and successful applications. Finally, the importance of assessing environmental impacts, regulations, and future research directions for the sustainable use of nanomaterials in agriculture is emphasized.
