• Nanocarrier systems for the encapsulation of agrochemicals can contribute to sustainable agriculture, but few nanosystems have been developed for plant growth regulators (PGRs). The present study evaluated the effects of seed priming using alginate/chitosan ( nano ALG/CS) and chitosan/tripolyphosphate ( nano CS/TPP) containing GA 3 on the growth and productivity of Solanum lycopersicum cultivated under field conditions. The results demonstrated that nanocarrier systems could improve fruit production, with the productivity increasing almost 4-fold using nano ALG/CS-GA 3 . This pioneering study demonstrates the potential of nanocarrier systems with PGRs for applications in agriculture.
