ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the concepts and applications of nanotechnology, particularly in agriculture along with its constraints/limitations. Nanotechnology can endeavor to deliver and streamline technologies in use for used environmental detection, sensing, and remediation. During disinfection of water, the nanoparticles are excited with the light source and the negative electrons are released. Nanotechnology can be employed in the reduction of wastes during agricultural manufacturing such as cotton, beverage, rice milling industries, and so forth. The supervision of safety aspects, ailment, transport systems, disease management, molecular methods for pathogen identification, and environment protection are few of the applications of the nanotechnology in agriculture and food sectors. It will also safeguard the environment indirectly by employing renewable energy supplies, filters, or catalysts to reduce pollution and clean up existing pollutants. Hydroponics is a technology of producing plants without soil and is extensively used around the globe for growing food crops. Nanocomposites have broad applications in various fields including agrofood packagings.
