Can Nanotechnology Improve Water Usage in Horticulture?
Efficient water usage is crucial for sustainable horticulture. Nanotechnology offers solutions for improving water management, such as nano-filtration systems that can purify water more effectively than traditional methods. These systems can remove contaminants and pathogens, ensuring that plants receive clean water. Moreover, hydrogels containing nanoparticles can be used to retain moisture in the soil, reducing the need for frequent irrigation.
