Abstract :
In recent years, intensifying traditional agricultural practices act as an immediate strategy for increasing global food supply, but excessive use of agrochemicals cause pollution. Imbalanced nutrient management and decreased soil organic matter are the main factors responsible for yield decline. Nanotechnology is an innovative technology and has wide range of potential environmental and engineering applications like in agricultural systems, biomedicine, water resources, energy conversion and numerous other areas. It is working with the smallest possible particles which raise hopes for improving agricultural productivity through encountering problems unsolved conventionally. Advancement in materials science increased exponentially in the last decade and arriving in our days at a large variety of nanomaterials, which can deliver new environment technologies, due to their immensely powerful capacity. This article reviewed the potential uses of nanomaterials in sustainable agriculture with specific reference to soil remediation and environmental cleaning
