Özet
In the current era of climate change, the global population is rapidly increasing, presenting a significant challenge for the agricultural industry in providing nourishing food to meet the growing demand. However, numerous biological and environmental factors impose limitations on agricultural productivity. Thus, modern agricultural practices have enabled higher crop yields to sustain the expanding human population. Unfortunately, the use of harmful chemicals like pesticides and insecticides has resulted in severe environmental degradation and adverse health effects on humans. Fortunately, emerging technologies such as nanotechnology offer promising solutions to address these aforementioned challenges in the agricultural sector. Nanotechnology can serve as a protective measure and be utilized as nanocarriers for fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. Its recent integra-tion into agricultural platforms has primarily focused on delivering plant hormones, managing water resources, facilitating seed germination, transfer-ring targeted genes, developing nanosensors, creating nanofertilizers, and implementing nano-barcoding techniques. Despite the numerous benefits of nanoparticle utilization, its application in agriculture remains limited. Nonetheless, nanotechnology has immense potential to revolutionize the agricultural industry and overcome its limitations.
