“…Additionally, nanotechnology can be used to develop sensors and monitoring systems that can help farmers optimize crop growth and detect early signs of stress or disease (Shang et al, 2019). Nanoscale materials can also be used to improve soil health and fertility, leading to better crop yields and quality (Mohammad et al, 2020); others are work by Alaa andTawfiq (2019), Farooq et al (2016) and . Siddiqui et al, (2015) described nanoparticles as "magic bullets" that have unique physiochemical properties i.e., high surface area, and high reactivity; tunable pore size, and particle morphology.…”

As the world population continues to expand and environmental challenges escalate, ensuring food security has become an urgent global concern. This paper explores the potential of nanotechnology in addressing these challenges, particularly in the field of crop improvement. Nanobreeding, which utilizes nanotechnological tools and techniques, presents a promising approach to enhance crop production and quality while minimizing environmental impact. Precision agriculture benefits greatly from nanosensors, which provide real-time data on soil moisture, nutrient levels, and pest infestations. Nanotechnology also offers innovative solutions in pest management through the development of nanopesticides. These nanopesticides enable targeted delivery of active ingredients to specific pests or plant structures, reducing off-target effects and environmental contamination. Addressing the challenges of low nutrient use efficiency and environmental pollution associated with conventional fertilizers, nano-fertilizers emerge as a viable solution. Nanotechnology in agriculture presents innovative solutions to enhance crop production, improve resource efficiency, and minimize environmental impact. By harnessing the potential of nanotechnology, these can contribute to global food security, meet the growing demand for food, and maintain sustainable living standards. Continuous research and development in this field are essential in securing our future food supply and building a resilient agricultural system.

“…Nanomaterials in the agriculture and agroindustry are used as nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, and more recently as compounds to improve harvest yields and also as disease plant protection [16]. Metal oxides as nanomaterials heterogenized with the nanofibers of biopolymers can act as excellent carriers and even soil enhancers [17]. Nanotechnology means the "synthesis, designing, characterizing, and utilization of assemblies, tools, and systems via directing the morphology and size variation at nanometer level from 1 -100 nm" [18].…”

Recently, nanotechnology is widely used in agriculture with the aim of achieving high agricultural yields. Due to the unique surface and physicochemical properties, nanomaterials can be used to deliver nutrients to plants via nanoparticles, for the synthesis of nanopesticides, nanofungicides, and to design nanosensors for the detection of very low concentrations of pesticides and other contaminants. Excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers causes the loss of soil biodiversity and the development of resistance to pathogens. Nenoencapsulation of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides is used for slow and specific dosed release of nutrients as well as agrochemicals. This paper discusses the applications of nanotechnology and their positive effect in agriculture in relation to the common methods used so far.
