Nanotechnology

Agriculture has been the first source of food for living organisms since earlier period. With the continuous increase in world population, it’s becoming difficult to fulfil the stress of food by using the standard fertilizer. Except this, the use of standard fertilizers has decreased the standard of food products due to degradation in soil fertility and stability. The use of modern technologies like nanotechnology and biotechnology in agriculture sector might help in increasing productivity as well quantity of the crops grown. The formulation of nanotechnology with biotechnology is one in all the best advancement in research, thanks to its various beneficial effects achieved by the use of nano-biofertilizers in fields. Nano-biofertilizers have gained the attentionof the scientist for development of a sustainable and eco-friendly approach towards the agriculture sector, overcoming the use and effects of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers alone. With the growing demands of food and therefore loss of soil stability, the utilization of nano-biofertilizers has become the requirement of the hour. The synergistic action of both the nanoparticles and the bioorganic component has tremendously affected the growth and expansion of plants, increased soil fertility and stability and provided resistance to pathogens and pests. This review focuses on the applications and formulations of the nano-biofertilizer in agriculture sector and also promotes its use for sustainable future generations.
