Abstract
Rapid population growth and the increasing need for food make it inevitable to increase agricultural production. At the same time, the use of conventional methods to increase agricultural production, including the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in crops, has caused environmental problems, regardless of the high cost. Therefore, in the last few decades, increasing the quantity and quality of crops through environmentally friendly methods has received much attention and emphasis. The use of chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide derived from chitin, is obtained from waste materials from the processing of seafood containing crustaceans such as shrimp and crab, and has recently attracted the attention of researchers. Chitosan increases vegetative growth, increases the quantitative and qualitative yield of crops, reduces drought and salinity stress, repels some pests and diseases, and increases the shelf life and storage of crops and horticultural products after harvest. As a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material, this compound increases the yield of agricultural products by increasing the absorption of nutrients, stimulating germination, increasing photosynthetic pigments, and vegetative growth. Chitosan also increases the resistance of plants to drought stress through antioxidant activity, reduced stomatal density, and reduced transpiration rate. Increasing the quality of agricultural products, including increasing the percentage of oil, protein, and carbohydrates, are other benefits of using chitosan in sustainable agriculture.
