NANOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

  ABSTRACT:      The recent years have seen a sharp increase in interest in nanotechnology because of its numerous uses in fields such materials science, medicine, pharmaceuticals, energy, and catalysis. There are numerous possible uses for such nanoparticles with small to large surface areas (1-100 nm). Sustainable agriculture is necessary today. The creation of nanochemicals has shown promise as insecticides, fertilizers, and agents for plant growth. Utilizing nanomaterials as an alternate means of controlling plant pests, such as weeds, fungus, and insects, has gained attention in recent years. Food packaging uses a variety of nanomaterials as antibacterial agents; silver nanomaterials, in particular, are of particular interest. A variety of nanoparticles, including carbon nanotubes, Ag, Fe, Cu, Si, Al, Zn, ZnO, TiO2, CeO2, and Al2O3, have been shown to have negative impacts. INTRODUCTION:      The world needs creative ways to produce high-quality, ...
