Abstract :
In recent years, nanotechnology has received much attention due to its wide applications in various fields. As the surface area increases, the functional efficiency of the nanostructure also increases. Today, the potential application of nanotechnology in the field of agriculture has led to extensive research. The combination of nanotechnology and agriculture is a new tool and leads to the production of nano-fertilizers, nano-herbicides, nano-fungicides, nano-pesticides and nano-insecticides, commonly referred to as nano-agrochemicals. These nano agrochemical have gained a lot of research interest due to their cost-effective and environmentally friendly nature. In addition to the many benefits of nano-agrochemicals in agriculture, they help to replace synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, leading to increased yields of production. However, extensive research is being done in this field. Some of the challenges include accessibility for farmers, cost of production, lack of awareness, impact on the environment, humans, etc. This article reviews the current impacts of nanotechnology in agriculture, agrochemicals and their characterizations and also importance of nanotechnology on sustainable development of agriculture.
