Abstract
The incorporation of nanoparticles into sensors or with antimicrobial and fertilizer properties in agriculture signifies a paradigm shift toward accuracy and sustainability. This chapter shows the numerous uses of nanoparticles and nanoparticle-based sensors in agribusiness. Their innovative contribution to promoting eco-friendly practices is examined. A bounty of advancements that maximize yields and contribute to a sustainable agricultural future is promised by these bactericidal nanoparticles, sensor technologies, and enhanced fertilizers, which sow the seeds of creativity. The discussion explores the potential of nanoparticles to transform farming practices, diminish environmental harm, and cultivate a progressive, eco-conscious farming landscape. Nanoparticle-based sensors provide data for informed decision-making, bactericidal nanoparticles protect crops from harmful pathogens, and nanotechnology enhances fertilizers for nutrient delivery and plant uptake.
