Seed priming: an emerging tool towards sustainable agriculture
Plant Growth Regulation, 2021Seed germination is one of the most crucial and complex physiological phenomena in the lifecycle of a plant, which often falls prey to environmental and biological stress that leads to erratic germination. Priming is a traditional method, generally used for synchronized seedling growth and stable crop stand, but priming has emerged as a potent tool for

Nanoparticle-Based Priming-Enhanced Agricultural Practices
2023The challenges of climate change, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss pose significant risks to agriculture. To ensure sustainable food production and tackle these issues, an agricultural revolution is necessary. Nanotechnology offers promising solutions for enhancing agricultural sustainability, and one such approach is seed nano-priming.

Urban Expansion and the Loss of Prime Agricultural Lands in Puerto Rico
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2001In many countries where the economy has shifted from mainly agricultural to industrial, abandoned agricultural lands are lost to urbanization. For more than 4 centuries the Puerto Rican economy depended almost entirely on agriculture, but sociopolitical changes early in the 20th century resulted in a shift to industry. This shift in the economy, and an

The Potential of Nano-Based Seed Priming for Sustainable Agriculture
2023Plant seeds are an important input in agriculture; however, environmental stresses can adversely affect seed vitality, development, and crop production during their developmental stages which results in decreased crop production. High salinity, drought, and climate change-resistant seeds can increase crop yield.

Addressing Stresses in Agriculture Through Bio-priming Intervention
2018Concurrent occurrences of different stresses, i.e. biotic and abiotic, are very common in the environment of plants which consequently reduce yield. As cost-effective options are very limited, bio-priming is a suitable tool to address the numerous challenges associated with agriculture. Plant growth benefits are easily attainable through this technique

Urban Encroachment on Prime Agricultural Land: A Case Study
International Regional Science Review, 1982Current concern about the nonfarm development of prime agricultural land is related to land settlement patterns in which urban development and prime farmland coincide. Historical development and location theory, along with recent research, indicate that the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) in the United States contain a disproportionate

Urban Encroachment on Prime Agricultural Land in the United States
International Regional Science Review, 1977A recent paper by Hart (1976) demonstrates that the amount of rural land lost to urbanization in the United States is very small relative to the total supply of this land. This paper investigates the possibility that while the amount of land lost to urbanization is small, it may be predominantly land that is ideal for agriculture, or prime farmland ...
