Conventional agriculture heavily relies on chemical compounds, adversely impacting health and ecosystems. Ensuring sustainable soil health necessitates the intelligent delivery of components to crop plants without any losses. Nanomaterials hold significant potential for enhancing agrochemical efficiency (50%), crop production (10-20%), and soil health. The nanomaterial improve different soil properties and its mechanism in soil and plant compartments, remains poorly understood. This review addresses critical questions regarding role of NMs in improving soil health, its mechanism and effects in the environment. Highlighting knowledge gaps, the article outlines essential areas for future research to ensure sustainable applications of nanotechnology in agriculture.
