. Abdul Rehman , Iqra Noreen, Hassan Raza, Zeeshan Javed, Khitab Ur Rahman & Murad Ali


Abstract

The field of nanotechnology has shown promise for enhancing agricultural output and solving the problems that plague contemporary agriculture. This review study examines how nanotechnology is used in agriculture and how it could improve agricultural output. It looks at a variety of nanomaterials and how they work, such as nanopesticides, nanosensors, nanofertilizers, and nanodelivery systems. The benefits, hazards, and mechanisms of action of using nanotechnology in agricultural production are all covered in the study. It also discusses the difficulties and potential outcomes of applying nanotechnology-based methods for sustainable agriculture. This comprehensive review delves into the advancements in nanotechnology and its potential applications in crop production. It provides insights into the use of nanomaterials, such as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nanosensors, to improve nutrient uptake, enhance pest and disease control, and optimize resource utilization. Additionally, the review discusses the implications of nanotechnology on crop growth, stress tolerance, and yield, while addressing safety and regulatory considerations.
