Abstract
Enhancing plant nutrition without changing soil texture and protecting it from microbial diseases, nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, and nano-herbicides are some examples of how nanotechnology is being used in agriculture. So, nanotechnology keeps the soil healthy, which in turn keeps the plant healthy. Nanoparticles (NPs) increase agricultural productivity and production while decreasing chemical runoff and nutrient loss. Concentrations, physiochemical characteristics, and plant species all have a role in how NPs affect plants. There are a number of NPs that affect plant physiology, which in turn increases biomass production and germination rate. Meanwhile, the function of NPs in growth suppression, inhibition of chlorophyll, and photosynthetic efficiency has been extensively studied. To fill this review, we tried to compile studies that looked at NP effects, translocation, and interactions with plants. Also discussed are methods for phytoremediation of polluted soil that make use of NPs in conjunction with one another to promote environmentally responsible farming.
