Abstract

Conventionally, agriculture involves multiple problems, such as the leaching and chemical volatilization of compounds used during the development of crops. Unfortunately, the uncontrolled abuse of these has been the cause of multiple problems at the environmental level. This abuse has led to the fact that fertilization doses, even those that comply with the requirements of the crop, can become insufficient for its development. Therefore, the design of a formulation based on gelatinizing compounds such as chitosan with nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO), multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and fructans (Frut) were evaluated for their use as a nanofertilizer. Overall results showed a synergistic effect between chitosan, MWCNT, and fructans as well as remarkable morphometric values in plants treated with chitosan, MWCNT, and ZnO. The chitosan/ZnO/MWCNT/Frut formulation was expected to have a great synergy between them in order to potentiate its original properties. However, there was a decline in its effect, this may be due to the chemical interaction between the components that could not provide good bioavailability for tomato plants. The treatment that registered the highest synergistic effect in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L., variety Moctezuma F1) was reactive grade chitosan, MWCNT/frut, achieving an increase of 90.6% in basal diameter, 76.5% in plant height, 81.25% in number of sheets, 309.38% in fresh weight, 201.4% in dry weight, 14% in root length and 212.69% in leaf area compared to control treatment.
