Abstract:

Nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as a promising tool for improving crop productivity and sustainability in the agriculture sector. The unique physicochemical properties of NPs make them ideal for a range of agricultural applications, such as enhancing plant growth and development, nutrient uptake, and pest resistance. However, the working mechanisms of NPs in agriculture are not yet fully understood, and further research is needed to fully harness their potential. This study aims to review the current state of knowledge on the working mechanisms of NPs in agriculture and identify the prospects for their use in sustainable crop production. The study will compare traditional agricultural practices with the use of NPs, focusing on the advantages and limitations of each approach. Additionally, the study will examine the various types of NPs that are currently being developed for agricultural applications and evaluate their effectiveness in enhancing crop productivity and soil health. This review will show the working mechanisms of NPs in different aspects of crop production, such as nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and pest resistance. The potential environmental impacts of NPs in agriculture will also be addressed, including their effect on soil microorganisms and the overall soil ecosystem. Overall, this study aims to provide an updated overview of the working mechanisms of NPs in agriculture and their prospects for sustainable crop production. The findings of this study may help to guide the development of more efficient and sustainable agricultural practices that can benefit both farmers and the environment. This research is critical to ensure the safe and effective use of NPs in agriculture and to mitigate any potential negative impacts.
