The agricultural sector is dealing with enormous challenges such as rapid climatic changes, a decrease in soil fertility, macro and micronutrient deficiency, overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and heavy metal presence in the soil. However, the global population increase has subsequently escalated food demand. Nanotechnology has immensely contributed to sustainable agriculture by enhancing crop production and restoring and improving soil quality.
Nanotechnology is applied in various aspects of agriculture, for example:
Nano-pesticide delivery
Transport of genetic materials for crop development
Application of nano biosensors for rapid detection of phytopathogen and other biotic and abiotic stresses.
