Nanotechnology in agriculture

Nanoscience and technology is the ability to take control of matter

in nanometer (molecular) dimensions and exploit the properties

and phenomena of this dimension in the materials of new tools

and systems. This simple definition has many meanings. For

example, nanotechnology with its interdisciplinary nature in the

future will include all technologies today and instead of competing

with existing technologies, it will take their growth path and

integrate them as a "word of science". . The introduction of

nanotechnology in the field of agriculture promises a great and

fundamental change in them. This development can change the

world economically and scientifically. The main applications of

this technology in agriculture and related industries are:

production of nanoparticles of DNA transcripts, construction of

new packaging adapted to food changes, production of new

biosensors to identify pathogens, nanofoods, transmission

Cellular production of enzymes with specific properties of

nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nanocatalysts, use of nanotubes in

food, production of healthy foods and isolation of anti-nutritional

factors from them, production of foods with high nutritional value

and limited resources for the production of new herbal medicines,

Production of nanoscale and durable pesticides and fertilizers,

more effective conversion of agricultural waste into nanoscale

particles for use in high sensitivity micro industries and

nanocomposites. Nanotechnology is a new and powerful

engineering that has the potential to accelerate our transition from

the status quo to the sustainable industries of the future.

Nano-formulations increase the efficiency of agricultural

chemicals, improve transmission systems, absorb and absorb

plant nutrients, and increase food quality with minimal impact on

the environment. In fact, nano-agricultural inputs such as

nano-pesticides and nano-fertilizers have been around for several

years. Edible plants should be exposed to high levels of

nanomaterials through direct targeted application of nano-usable

agricultural inputs. Unfortunately, the difference between the

potential benefits and harms of nanoproducts can be quite subtle,

and there is a great deal of knowledge about the long-term effects

of nanomaterials on the environment, crop production, and human

health. Current knowledge highlights the contradictory effects of

nanomaterials on plants, which is not surprising given the

complex processes involved in plant nanomaterial interactions.

For example, exposure of nanosyria (cerium oxide nanoparticles)

to wheat and barley under similar soil and environmental

conditions causes a tremendous increase in branch biomass in

barley, but only minor changes in wheat. And nanowire is

harmful to grain production in the atmosphere, but despite grain

delays and wheat maturation, it improves grain yield.

processes in the soil, all of which may cause fundamental

changes in soil health.

Conclusion :

The path through which nanomaterials enter the environment and

humans is through agriculture. Because many nanomaterials are

widely used, large amounts of nanomaterials are expected to

accumulate in sewage sludge in wastewater treatment plants. A

significant portion of sludge is added to farms as fertilizer.
