Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field that affords the development of materials in nanoscale dimensions that have unique properties and a wide spectrum of applications. Nanomaterials can be found more frequently in agriculture and the food sector. The application of nanomaterials for delivery of nutrients and growth-promoting compounds to plants has become more and more popular, and their utilization at the proper place, at the proper time, in the proper amount and of the proper composition emends the efficacy of fertilizers. This contribution reviews the potential application of various nanocarriers used for delivery of N, P and K macronutrients and plant growth-stimulating nanoscale essential metals nutrients (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co) as well as carbon-based (single- and multiwalled carbon nanotubes) and non-essential metal (Ti, Ag, Au, Ce, Al)- and metalloid (Si, Se)-based nanomaterials showing beneficial effects on plant growth that could be used in agricultural practice.
