Abstract :

Nanomaterials are particles with a size range of 1-100 nm, which have a higher surface-to-volume ratio than bulk ones. As the surface-to-volume ratio increases, materials can become more reactive. For this reason, nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties that are different from the properties of bulk materials. Nanotechnology is the use of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures, materials, and devices for use in many sectors such as medicine, energy, etc., in the meantime, biological nanotechnology combines biological principles with the physical and chemical properties of materials to can produce nanoparticles with specific functions. Among these properties, we can mention improving resistance against plant diseases, increasing plant growth, and efficient use of nutrients. Nano-scale biological materials in the field of the food industry can be used in the detection of pathogens, in water purification systems, the production of nano additives in nano smart packaging, the control and delivery of nutrients, nanoencapsulation, and delivery of the target substance that the growth of pathogenic agents stored in Minimize food. Due to electrostatic interaction, metal nanoparticles can show good antibacterial and antifungal activities. Nanofertilizers may contain zinc, silica, iron, titanium dioxide, gold nanorods, etc. Carbon nanotubes and silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles can be used to improve plant growth. Finally, bio-nanotechnology is a futuristic process and acts as an agricultural bio-security.
