Nanochemistry: A Multidisplinary Approach towards Innovations in Agriculture Soils and Improved Yields

Abstract

Agriculture has made significant strides recently, and sustainability build on those successes by using a smart strategy that may maintain greater returns and farm profitability without depleting the resources. Furthermore, nano-materials enhance the efficiency of farm production to enable site targeted regulated distribution of minerals, assuring the least amount of agri-input usage while enhancing crop output. Particularly in the agriculture industry, nanoscienceis crucial for agricultural production, food packaging and processing, water purification, nutrition security, and pollution control as well as crop development and plant preservation. NPs display a well-organized antibacterial activity towards bacteria and viruses. Important inorganic NPs with effective pesticide characteristics include silver, aluminum and copper. Chitosan nano-particles, ZnO nano-particles, and silica nano-particles are beneficial for the treatment of virus infection, including the mosaic virus in tobacco, potatoes, and alfalfa. The revitalization of the damaged soil resources may be possible using nano-enabled soil rehabilitation. The toxicity copper in soil is typically linked to soluble free metal ion species like Cu2+, that are easily accessible and extremely hazardous, in traditional forms of higher soil.
