Abstract :

Nanotechnology has a revolutionary function in sustainable agriculture by maximizing productivity with the least possible environmental effects. Nano-pesticides provide targeted pest control with reduced toxicity and greater efficacy. Nano sensors provide specific detection of soil health and plant wellness, maximizing the use of resources. Nanotechnology also contributes to crop improvement by increasing germination of seeds, stress tolerance, and production. In addition to its advantage, its obstacles include high price, regulatory problems, and probable ecological hazards discouraging mass production. Toxicity, environmental and biosafety studies are indispensable for safe practice. As innovation continues, nanotechnology has an enormous potential in transforming agriculture in terms of boosting efficiency, sustainability and food security. This review discusses its uses, such as Nano-fertilizers, Nano-pesticides and Nano sensors, which enhance nutrient supply, pest management and real-time monitoring. Nano-fertilizers provide precise control over the release of nutrients, maximizing plant efficiency and lessening losses.
