Nanotechnology acquires great attentions in the last few years because of its broad applications in the
medicines and drugs like tumor detection, cosmetics and materials. Nanotechnology is memorized as
a growing technology because of its applications and functions due to nanoparticles’ size range between
1-100 nm. Nanomaterials are gaining popularity as an alternative to conventional pesticides, with
promising results in the roles of plant growth stimulants, insecticides and fertilizers. Nanotechnology
has been applied to several areas of agriculture, including crop enhancement, plant disease detection,
weed and pest management, soil, water remediation, animal health and breeding, and more.
Simultaneously, nanotechnology has also become increasingly significant in the food industries too.
Particularly engaging for food packaging purposes are silver nanoparticles, and nanotechnology is
currently being utilized to use in the food business for purposes among them processing, quality
monitoring and packaging. As a result, this review concentrates on the synthesis and uses of
nanoparticles in the food and agricultural industries. Despite several studies suggesting that nanoparticles
have applications in the food and agriculture industries, more studies are needed to convey the
significance of nanoparticles in these fields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
