Abstract

It has been considered that nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field of research. Various researches in this field has been carried out to increase the levels of production of agriculture. The inexperienced evolution ended in blind utilization of insecticides and several type of chemical fertilizer that precipitated the nutrient value of the soil and have led to soil biodiversity reduction. Use of these fertilizers and pesticides  is also a main reason for the enhanced level of resistance in pests and pathogens. Nanoparticles enhanced cloth transport to plant  as well as higher levels of  biosensor for accuracy agriculture are promising by nanotechnology. Nano encapsulated conventional fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide allows in measured as well as constant discharge of nutrient and agrochemical which results in accurate quantity to the plant life. Kits are being developed with the help of nanotechnology. These kits based on the plants are enhanced and have the capacity to detect the viral disease prior to the infection. Current study discusses the potential and useful advantages of nanotechnology in accurate agriculture.
