Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Water Quality Management

Background: Nanotechnology has offering revolutionized challenges in the agri-food sector while addressing challenges in agriculture and water quality management for preservation, packaging, and food safety. Nanomaterials has their own physico-chemical properties, which are being used for improving food quality, extending shelf life and for increasing agricultural productivity. Methods: This review investigate the applications of various nanomaterials, including nanoscale carriers, clay nanotubes, photocatalysis, and nanobiosensors highlighting their synthesis, mechanisms and applications. The importance of the development of innovations such as fabricated xylem vessels, nanolignocellulosic materials and nanobarcode technology. This research focuses on combined nanotechnology with agricultural practices and water treatment systems. Results: the significant of this result is to reveal the effectiveness of nanotechnology in increasing nutrient delivery, reducing chemical runoff and improving plant health. Nanoscale carriers develop pesticide and fertilizer delivery, while photocatalysis effectively degrades harmful compounds in wastewater. Nanolignocellulosic materials derived from agricultural waste which offer sustainable solutions for packaging and construction of clay nanotubes that significantly reduce pesticide usage. Conclusion: Nanotechnology presents transformative opportunities for eco-friendly agricultural and environmental management. The potential of nanotechnology in nutrient delivery, waste management and water treatment to revolutionize agricultural practices. Future research should focus on addressing challenges such as scalability, environmental impacts and regulatory while consider about the harmness of the potential of nanotechnology in agriculture and water quality management.
