The introduction of nanotechnology-based applications in agriculture is important to tackle the difficulties faced by agriculture and food sector across the globe. Nanomaterials facilitate controlled delivery of nutrients with increased crop protection. Due to their direct and indirect applications, nanomaterials can support the development of high-tech agricultural farms. This is exactly what is needed to maximize agricultural output by improvement of the ability of plants to absorb nutrients from the soil.
