Current Aspects of Nanotechnology: Applications in Agriculture

摘要: The discipline of nanotechnology has gained momentum in the agriculture field and emerged to modernize research related agricultural practices. use a lot chemicals led environment pollution, climate change, diminishing natural resources, other ecological impacts. In recent years, attention overcome such problems, hence, there is an increase quality food, agro-based products, resources. This chapter discusses about sources nanomaterials, various forms nano assisted technologies improve plant growth crop yields as nanocarriers, nanotubes, nanosensors, nanocomposites, nanofibers, nanoclays, nanocapsules. Furthermore, it emphasized on application enhance effects seed germination rate, growth, identification diseases, control weeds, pathogens, smart farming, precision agriculture. Therefore, these nano-based practices are essential for food security, ecosystem balance, sustainable they do not affect our environment.
