摘要

With the growing population and rising food demands, modern agriculture heavily depends on agrochemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, which have low efficiency and high toxicity, posing serious environmental risks. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising tool to overcome these challenges by enabling targeted and precise delivery of agricultural inputs due to nanoparticles’ large surface area, high chemical and thermal stability, and unique physicochemical properties. Through the use of nano-fertilizers, nanoparticles help manage abiotic stress in plants and algae, reduce toxicity, and advance sustainable agriculture. By increasing crop yields and decreasing the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, nano-fertilizers could make agriculture more economical and sustainable. This review gives an overview of the advantages and potential risks of nanoparticles and suggests future research directions to maximize its application in precision farming for sustainable agricultural practices. It also highlights how nanotechnology can help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN by improving nutrient uptake, addressing phytotoxicity concerns, and enhancing abiotic stress tolerance.
