Abstract

In order to increase agricultural yields, new technologies are frequently used in agriculture. Using nanoparticles in farming, known as nano-agriculture, can provide crops with a number of advantageous impacts. Potential new uses in biotechnology and agriculture are made possible by the advent of nanotechnology and the creation of new nanomaterials and gadgets. Materials that fit into the nanometric range and have at least one dimension less than a few hundred nanometers are referred to as nanoparticles. These substances would discharge fertilizers or insecticides at predetermined times and locations. Chemical discharge into the environment and harm to other plant tissues may be minimized by using nanoparticles labelled with agrochemicals or other compounds. The important function that nanoparticles play in plants is highlighted in this review. Furthermore, nanoscience offers fresh perspectives that help us comprehend the most effective way for nanoparticles to function in plants. Better plant growth and development result from the proper understanding of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanism of nanoparticles in plants.
