SCOPE AND IMPORTANCE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE: A REVIEW

Abstract

Now a day due to increase in the population and climate changes nanotechnology is the best option, because nanoparticles have distinctive physical, chemical and biological traits. Nanoparticles contain herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, which act as ‘magic bullets’, these are target specific in nature and release their content slowly based on crop requirement. Nanotechnology is using different fields moreover in this study of agriculture is the most useful to the future increasing population. The current review underlines the application of nanotechnology in nano-fertilizers, Nanoherbicides, nano pesticides. Nanotechnology usedin vegetables and in management of plant pathogen and also introduction of biosensors to detect nutrients and contaminants.
