N2 - An urgent challenge within agriculture is to improve fertilizer efficiency in order to reduce the environmental footprint associated with an increased production of crops on existing farmland. Standard soil fertilization strategies are often not very efficient due to immobilization in the soil and losses of nutrients by leaching or volatilization. Foliar fertilization offers an attractive supplementary strategy as it bypasses the adverse soil processes, but implementation is often hampered by a poor penetration through leaf barriers, leaf damage, and a limited ability of nutrients to translocate. Recent advances within bionanotechnology offer a range of emerging possibilities to overcome these challenges. Here we review how nanoparticles can be tailored with smart properties to interact with plant tissue for a more efficient delivery of nutrients.
