DESCRIPTION:DATE: October 17th 2023 | TIME: 2:00pm (EST) |  Location: Macdo
 nald Engineering Building RM: 497\n\nPresented by Prof. Søren Husted\, Dep
 artment of Plant and Environmental Sciences\, University of Copenhagen\, D
 enmark.\n\nFree Hybrid Seminar- Available on zoom\n\nDespite progress in i
 mproving fertilizers\, the persistent problem of poor nutrient use efficie
 ncy (NUE) in agriculture remains a major obstacle to sustainability. 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
