Abstract
The aim of nanomaterials in agriculture is to reduce the number of spread chemicals, minimize nutrient losses in fertilization, and increase yield through pest and nutrient management. Nanotechnology has the prospective to improve the agriculture and food industry with nanotools for the controlling of rapid disease diagnostic, enhancing the capacity of plants to absorb nutrients among others. The significant interest of using nanotechnology in agriculture includes specific applications like nanofertilizers and nanopesticides to trail products and nutrient levels to increase productivity without decontamination of soils, waters, and protection against several insect pests and microbial diseases. Nanotechnology may act as a sensor for monitoring the soil quality of the agricultural field, thus maintaining the health of agricultural plants. This review covers the current challenges of sustainability, food security, and climate change that are explored by researchers in the area of nanotechnology for the improvement of agriculture.
