Soil pollution from various anthropogenic and natural activities poses a significant threat to the environment and human health. This study explored the sources and types of soil pollution and emphasized the need for innovative remediation approaches. Nanotechnology, including the use of nanoparticles, is a promising approach for remediation. Diverse types of nanomaterials, including nanobiosorbents and nanobiosurfactants, have shown great potential in soil remediation processes. Nanotechnology approaches to soil pollution remediation are multifaceted. Reduction reactions and immobilization techniques demonstrate the versatility of nanomaterials in mitigating soil pollution. Nanomicrobial-based bioremediation further enhances the efficiency of pollutant degradation in agricultural soils. A literature-based screening was conducted using different search engines, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, from 2010 to 2023. Keywords such as "soil pollution, nanotechnology, nanoremediation, heavy metal remediation, soil remediation" and combinations of these were used. The remediation of heavy metals using nanotechnology has demonstrated promising results and offers an eco-friendly and sustainable solution to address this critical issue. Nanobioremediation is a robust strategy for combatting organic contamination in soils, including pesticides and herbicides. The use of nanophytoremediation, in which nanomaterials assist plants in extracting and detoxifying pollutants, represents a cuttingedge and environmentally friendly approach for tackling soil pollution.

One of the main things restricting yields of crops is diseases that affect plants. Which continue to be the major agricultural threat in the globe and drastically reduce yields of crops internationally, creating serious issues for the availability of food. Despite the fact that chemical-based medication persists as the main tactic for lowering the incidence of agricultural ailments, their frequent usage can make the microorganisms less likely to spread. Consequently, effective screening techniques for the immediate detection of plant-borne pathogens in the initial phases of infection have becoming vital to preserving sustainable farming and adequate nutrition. Quantum dots (QDs), nanoparticles, and nanotechnology have become crucial instruments for the rapid and highly accurate assessment of a specific biochemical marker. Tools including such as biosensors, QDs, nanostructured platforms, nanoimaging, and nanopore DNA sequencing have an opportunity to enhance infection detection’s accuracy, precision, and efficiency. They can also make rapid analysis easier and be utilized for crop protection and high-quality monitoring. Additionally, nanodiagnostic tool technology enables professionals to assist producers in avoiding the emergence of pandemics by swiftly and simply identifying potentially hazardous pathogenic organisms in crops.

The role of modified biochar in enhancing phosphorus (P) availability is gaining attention as an environmentally friendly approach to address soil P deficiency, a global agricultural challenge. Traditional phosphatic fertilizers, while essential for crop yield, are costly and environmentally detrimental owing to P fixation and leaching. Modified biochar presents a promising alternative with improved properties such as increased porosity, surface area, and cation exchange capacity. This review delves into the variability of biochar properties based on source and production methods and how these can be optimized for effective P adsorption. By adjusting properties such as pH levels and functional groups to align with the phosphate’s zero point of charge, we enhance biochar’s ability to adsorb and retain P, thereby increasing its bioavailability to plants. The integration of nanotechnology and advanced characterization techniques aids in understanding the structural nuances of biochar and its interactions with phosphorus. This approach offers multiple benefits: it enables farmers to use phosphorus more efficiently, reducing the need for traditional fertilizers and thereby minimizing environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions and P leaching. This review also identifies existing research gaps and future opportunities for further biochar modifications. These findings emphasize the significant potential of modified biochar in sustainable agriculture.
