| Abstract | Inflating food demand and frequent recurrence of environmental challenges requires the changes in agricultural practices, by development of new technologies and improvement of existing practices crop production without adversely effecting the environment and ecosystem. Over the last decade, the rapid growth and advancement of nanobiotechnological innovations have come up with huge potential in providing novel and better technologies in order to address various challenges facing by agriculture sector globally. The success of agricultural sustainability strictly linked with identifying new areas and technology development to address the issues like climate change, sustainable use of natural resources, accumulation of fertilizers and pesticides, declining soil health and other environmental challenges etc. Therefore the scientific community needs serious consideration in research and development in the area of efficient delivery system not only help in controlled and slow release of agrochemicals but also reduce the amount of agrochemicals applied in the field and economic loss. Nanotechnology offer potential and efficient delivery carrier system for regulated release of agrochemicals like nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanofungicides, nanoherbicides and plant growth regulators etc. In the last decade a polymer like chitosan has been identified as potential delivery vehicle for regulated release of diverse agrochemicals and genetic materials. The advances of nanobiotechnology not only enhance our understanding of crop biology which potentially enhances crop yield and nutritional values but also offers several green and novel technologies in sustainable agricultural practices. Despite availability of wide knowledge and applications of nanotechnology in different sectors there is marginal knowledge available in agriculture sector. The present compilation is focussed on to briefly discuss different nonmaterial based formulations and role of nanobiosensors and their application in amelioration of plant growth, crop production, crop protection and disease management to attain agricultural sustainability. |
