nanocarrier-delivery
Nanocarrier-delivery is a technology that uses nano-scale particles to deliver nutrients, bioactive compounds, and other agents directly into plant cells with enhanced precision and efficiency. This approach improves the bioavailability and cellular uptake of delivered compounds compared to conventional application methods. By enabling targeted molecular-level delivery, nanocarrier systems have potential to increase crop productivity and reduce input requirements in agriculture.
