Application of Nanotechnology in Agricultural Systems: Improving Efficiency and Sustainability
Keywords:
Nanotechnology, sustainable agriculture, Nano fertilizer, Nano herbicideAbstract
Nanotechnology is the field that studies how to manipulate matter on an atomic scale. The discipline of managing the smallest particles possible has the possibility of enhancing agricultural productivity in the face of obstacles that cannot be handled using conventional approaches. Improving the fertility of the soil by releasing stored nutrients is a primary goal of management, and nano clays and zeolites are used to improve fertilizer efficiency. Using nano biosensors and a satellite network, farmers can calculate the precise inputs their crops need and have them delivered to them at the perfect time and place. The development and research of nanoherbicides are being driven by the difficulties of controlling perennial weeds and decreasing the supply of weed seeds. Mechanisms such as targeted distribution, slow/controlled release mechanisms, and conditional release might allow the active components of a nanostructured formulation to be released with more precision in response to environmental signals and biological demands. Nanofertilizers have been demonstrated to improve nutrient usage efficiency, reduce soil toxicity, and buffer against the potentially disastrous effects of overdose, all while reducing the number of times they need to be applied. As a result, nanotechnology has a lot of potential for helping developing countries adopt sustainable agricultural methods.
