Abstract
In recent years, the agricultural sector has witnessed a surge in the development and application of nanotechnologies. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the field, highlighting the key advancements and challenges that have emerged. We examine the various categories of nanomaterials being used in agriculture, including carbon-based structures, semiconductor nanodevices, and environmentally friendly approaches. Our analysis reveals that these materials have shown great promise in improving crop yields, reducing waste, and enhancing sustainability. We also explore the potential risks and challenges associated with the use of nanoparticles in agriculture, including their impact on soil microbiota and the need for effective regulation. Ultimately, this review aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the role that nanotechnology can play in transforming the agricultural sector, and to identify areas where further research and development are needed.
