Organic Food: Effect on Nutrient Composition
Fertilization and Plant Protection as Factors Determining the Chemical Composition of the Obtained Organic Crops

Content: 1) to remain active in the environment (sun, heat, rain), (2) to penetrate the noxious organism (fungus, insect, nematode) and to be transported to the target, (3) to resist defense of the pest/pathogen, (4) to remain benign to plants and mammals, (5) to be cost effective to formulate and manufacture, preferably possessing a new mode of action, and (6) to provide economic returns and social benefits ( Smith et al., 2008 ). As discussed previously, nanosize materials change their physical and chemical properties in comparison with bulk material and have improved and innovated a variety of pharmaceutical, medical, industrial, and agriculture products. On the other hand, materials being innocuous in bulk form often become toxic when they reach nanosize. These adverse cellular effects have been attributed to the high chemical surface reactivity of NPs ( Filipponi and Sutherland, 2013 ). Therefore, increased attention must be devoted to the impact of risk factors associated with their usage on the environment and possible adverse effects on nontarget organisms and humans (in general mammals). The aforementioned proliferation of regulation demonstrates the increasing importance of nanotechnologies to agriculture. The development of agronanotechnologies, along with biotechnologies, could serve as a springboard from which to revolutionize agriculture to feed a rapidly growing world population and to help improve living conditions in the developing world ( Watson et al., 2011 ).
