Seed Coating Technologies and Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Seed coating technologies are important practices used in modern agriculture to enhance seed performance, provide protection against environmental stresses, and optimize the efficiency of agricultural inputs. Seed coating methods include dry powder coating, seed dressing, film coating, encrusting, pelleting, electrospun seed coating, microencapsulation, and nano-coating. Although traditional seed coating methods have been used for many years, recent developments in nanotechnology, biopolymer science, and controlled release systems have brought significant innovations in seed coating technologies. In this review, the current literature on seed coating methods is summarized, the limitations of traditional seed coating methods and nano-coating technology are discussed, and the importance of nanotechnology in seed coating for sustainable agriculture is emphasized.

Tohum Kaplama Teknolojileri ve Sürdürülebilir Tarım

Abstract

Tohum kaplama teknolojileri, modern tarımda tohum performansını artırmak, çevresel streslere karşı koruma sağlamak ve tarımsal girdilerin etkinliğini optimize etmek için kullanılan önemli uygulamalardır. Tohum kaplama yöntemleri arasında kuru toz kaplama, tohum giydirme, film kaplama, mini peletleme, peletleme, elektrospun tohum kaplama, mikrokapsülleme ve nano-kaplama yer almaktadır. Geleneksel tohum kaplama yöntemleri uzun yıllardır kullanılmakta olsa da, son yıllarda nanoteknoloji, biyopolimer bilimi ve kontrollü salım sistemlerindeki gelişmeler, tohum kaplama teknolojilerinde önemli yenilikler getirmiştir. Bu derlemede, tohum kaplama yöntemleri hakkındaki mevcut literatür bilgileri özetlenmekte, geleneksel tohum kaplama yöntemlerinin ve nano-kaplama teknolojisinin sınırlamaları tartışılmakta ve tohum kaplamada nanoteknolojinin sürdürülebilir tarım açısından önemi vurgulanmaktadır.
