Review of Nanotechnology’s Potential in Agricultural Applications

Abstract

Nowadays, the fundamental concept of nanoscience and nanotechnology is used in a variety of fields for a numerous reasons, purposes, and applications at Nano scale. This is an interdisciplinary subject, and its applications include engineering, biotechnology, biomedical instruments, and composite materials; however, nanotechnology has recently become most imperative and exciting in the field of agriculture. Nanotechnology and nanoscale materials have the potential to provide solutions to many significant challenges confronting our farmers. This review paper summarizes some of the most promising and significant nanotechnology applications in agricultural products such as nanopesticides, nanourea, nanosensors, and other nanoscale processes. The current review concentrates on technical and financial challenges confronting achievement of nanotechnology in rural community development.
