Unveiling Nanomaterial-Induced Toxicity

Abstract

In the current landscape, addressing the nutritional needs of our rapidly expanding global populace is imperative. Traditional farming methods face challenges, with approximately one-third of crops succumbing to pests, diseases, natural calamities, soil degradation, and nutrient deficiencies. Nanotechnology have been made in harnessing nanoparticulate systems to enhance quality, act as sensors, combat pests, and bolster fertilisation efforts. Nanotechnology has emerged as a crucial ally in boosting agricultural sustainability by amplifying crop yields and revitalising soil health. Over the past decade, nanotechnology has permeated various sectors, prominently in agro-industrial realms. A profound comprehension of plant-nanomaterial interactions unveils promising avenues for fortifying farming practices, fostering disease resilience, augmenting yields, and optimising nutrient absorption.
