Abstract:
Copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and sulfur (S) are important nutrients for plant health and cannot be absorbed by the plants effectively from the corresponding salts. Copper sulfide (CuS) and manganese sulfide (MnS) nanoparticles (NPs) are more effective and economical than Cu and Mn slats due to their nano-sizes. This review article critically summarizes the methods of CuS and MnS NPs synthesis, characterization, and their effect on plant growth, stress resilience, plant health, and their possible uptake mechanism and translocation. It has been proved that CuS and MnS NPs trigger antioxidant activities in plants and antimicrobial activities against pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Although CuS and MnS NPs are encouraging elicitors in agricultural applications, they have their effect at molecular and cellular level, soil microbiota, fate in the soil, and safety assessments need further investigation.
