Abstract

Agriculture is the most important foundation for human civilization as it forms the basis of our food and the raw materials for several other products. Most of the people globally depend on agriculture for their survival and livelihood. Nanotechnology is finding its applications in all realms of life, thus invariably this technology is also playing a profound role in modern agriculture. This article explores how nanotechnology holds potential to revolutionize modern agriculture and provide a new approach towards effective crop management. Methods of improving crop nutrition, protection and production have also been discussed. Furthermore, it describe the uses of different nanoparticles (NP) such as silver nanoparticles (AgNP), Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NP), Chitosan NP, Carbon Nanotubes, Silicon nanoparticles (SiNP) etc. for their various applications in wastewater management, plant growth mechanisms, food packaging, antimicrobial agents and nanosensors etc.
