Abstract

The agribusiness has been confronting a wide array of complications encompassing; stasis crop yields, climatic variation, water inaccessibility, agrochemicals buildup, less supplement use proficiency, reduced soil organic matter which has subsequently influenced the worldwide food demand. For the annihilation of those aforesaid concerns, there is a prerequisite of a pioneer innovation, such as “Nanotechnology” to be incorporated in the plant breeding sector, which can alleviate those snags alongside securing environmental parameters. Basically, nanotechnology is an emerging innovation that is doled out at a sub-atomic level, particle by iota for fabricating a structure, apparatuses, or gadgets forced with a new sub-atomic collection that can sustain and remediate the current status of plant breeding. The application of nanotechnology in plant breeding comprehends; disease and vermin control, seed technology, plant genetic modification, monitoring of plant growth stages, incitement of hormonal impacts, and precise farming. Other than this wide relevance of nanotechnology, a few investigations show that nanotechnology imparts phytotoxicity effects, which can be a restrictive risk for the environment, beings, and natural boundaries. However, if we can vanish the potential risks and outcomes of this innovation, it can potentially reform the entire agricultural cosmos. Furthermore, this review apportions the synopsis of innumerable nanotechnological applications in plant breeding, recompensing specific consideration to its current utilization, and moreover, scans the opportunities, potential advantages, associative risks, deterrents, and conceivable prospective changes.

Key words: Agriculture, Nano technology, Phytotoxic, Sub-atomic
