Abstract

Nanotechnology is an emerging field having diverse applications and potential in providing new strategies to many challenges agriculture. Nanotechnology in the agricultural sector focuses on sustainable food production. This nascent technology provides novel opportunities to enhance crop production and reduce environmental issues. Sustainable agriculture must be taken as an ecological method, where abiotic-biotic-living beings live together with coordinated stability of food chains and their related energy balances. The use of a network of sensors, a global positioning system (GPS), global information system, and actuators throughout an agricultural area could measure and report on a number of environmental, crop, and pest variables at a time. These reports would further support the farmers and allow choices for intervention during agricultural practices. By employing robust, portable, or remote in-situ nanotechnology-based sensing and monitoring systems in the agricultural sector, farmers can begin to market their own choices and will apply agrochemicals as and when required.
