Title A name given to the resource Impact of chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles on seed germination: probabilities and prospects Subject The topic of the resource Agriculture; Chitin; Chitosan; Nanoparticles; Seed germination Description An account of the resource Agriculture is the science and practice of making plants and animals for the food for animals, and humans at large. It is used not only for food but also for other needs like wool, silk, leather, etc and now we start to use these agricultural practices for making plants and animals as bioreactors for making valuable pharmaceuticals. But, the main segment of agriculture is related to the cultivation of plants. Even though many types of plant propagation systems are available, the use of seeds is considered to be the most commonly used method in many crop varieties. The productivity of the crops is largely depending on healthy seedling production. There are many methods including the traditional methods to improve seedling development. Recent scientific developments help in the development of better seedlings and thereby the crop yield. Chitosan and its nanoparticles are being used in agriculture in different aspects starting from seed germination and seedling development apart from the use in controlled release of the nutrients. In the present chapter, the use of chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles in agriculture especially in the stages of seed germination and seedling development in different crop varieties is discussed. 2022 Elsevier Inc.
