Abstract: Nanotechnology is an emerging tool to improve productivity of crop and has capability to coup-up from present agricultural issues. The producing nanomaterials have several properties like slow release action, target action at active sites and high surface area etc. And due to this, nanotechnology applied in various fields including agriculture, food and processing industry and in precision farming. Use of nano sensors, nano herbicides, nano pesticides helps to improve efficiency of overall plant. Plant becomes more vigorous, competitive than weeds and other biotic factors. Now a day’s silver nanoparticles has an effective role to check various seed and soil born phytopathogens. Hence, nanotechnology has proved their worth in agriculture.
