“…The agriculture and food sectors are investing enormous time, energy, and money into researching, designing, patenting, and producing a broad variety of functional nanoformulations to battle the pervasiveness of pests, weeds, and insects [ 16 ]. Nanoformulations of pesticides offer a number of advantages, including increased effectiveness and durability, good dispersion and wettability, the ability to biodegrade in the soil and environment, a lack of toxicity, a photogenerative nature, reduced risk of pest resistance, increased uptake by target pests, and decreased ecological contamination [ 145 ]. Nanoparticle-based pesticide formulations are attracting a lot of attention as potentially effective tools for pest management due to their ability to overcome the disadvantages of conventional pesticides.…”

In the twenty-first century, nanotechnology has emerged as a potentially game-changing innovation. Essential minerals are mostly unavailable in modern cropping systems without the application of synthetic fertilizers, which have a serious negative impact on the ecosystem. This review focuses on the coupling of nanoparticles with biofertilizers to function as nano-biofertilizers (NBFs), which may ensure world food security in the face of the rising population. The inoculation of plants with NBFs improves plant development and resistance to stress. Metallic nanoparticles as well as organic components comprising polysaccharide and chitosan may be encapsulated, utilizing microbe-based green synthesis to make NBFs, which circumvents the limitations of conventional chemical fertilizers. The application of NBFs is just getting started, and shows more promise than other approaches for changing conventional farming into high-tech “smart” farming. This study used bibliographic analysis using Web of Science to find relevant papers on “nano biofertilizers”, “plants”, and “agriculture”. These subjects have received a lot of attention in the literature, as shown by the co-citation patterns of these publications. The novel use of nanotechnology in agriculture is explored in this research work, which makes use of the unique characteristics of nanoscale materials to address urgent concerns including nutrient delivery, crop protection, and sustainable farming methods. This study attempts to fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge by discussing the formulation, fabrication, and characterization of NBFs, as well as elucidating the mechanisms by which NBFs interact with plants and how this benefits the ability of the plant to withstand biotic and abiotic stress brought about by climate change. This review also addresses recent developments and future directions in farming using NBF formulations in the field.
