Potential Applications of Nanomaterials in Detection and Management of Plant Parasitic Nematode
摘要
Nematodes are roundworms that resemble threads and can survive in both fresh and saline water as well as soil. Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs): there have been approximately 4100 species described to far, and these are supposed to be a substantial concern to the global food supply (Decraemer & Hunt, 2006). The World Bank projected in 2008 that global population would increase by 35% by 2050, accounting for both economic development and dietary choices. This would result in a 75% rise in food consumption (Keating et al., 2010). As a result, encouraging sustainable practices to improve resource efficiency has become a global environmental concern for pertinent stakeholders (Mokrini et al., 2018). They are one of the biggest limiting factors for major crops, parasitizing a wide variety of plant species, including dicots and monocots. It is estimated that they cause at least 80 billion dollars in crop losses year globally (Nicol et al., 2011).
