There is a sharp decline in Indian agricultural production from 3.6% in 1985- 1995 to nearly 2% in 1995- 2005. To reach the goal of 4% increment in agricultural production we must use sustainable agricultural practices keeping in view of the environment. Nanotechnology is emerged as a new solution which counters the growing harmful consequences of conventional farming techniques that neither increase the output nor bring the environment back to its original position. Nanotechnology uses different particle sizes varying from 1-100 nanometres and can deliver the nutrients precisely. The different applications of nanotechnology in agriculture like nano fertilizers, nano pesticides etc are gaining interest amongst farmers and scientists. This has the potential in reducing the chemical fertilizers and pesticides, in minimising nutrient loss via leaching and to enhance the yields through precise nutrient management, Nanotechnology is also utilised at various phases of agricultural practices like packaging, processing, storing, and agricultural goods transit. Food security, agriculture, and natural resources are important areas to focus on for sustainability, susceptibility, and human existence on this planet. Following the implementation of sustainable agriculture, the nanotechnology in agricultural fertilizers and pesticides is an encouraging and alternative solution to pest control and nutrient management. This paper gives brief information about how nanotechnology works and helps to overcome the problems related to agriculture.
