“…Nano herbicide applications in the early stages of weed control could decrease herbicide resistance, sustain their effectiveness, and extend their release over a more extended period [89]. A nano herbicide penetrates the weeds and transits to the root system, inhibiting glycolysis in the root system [90]. Nano herbicides target the weeds, induce depletion of these plants, and consequently destroy them.…”

Growing populations and less space and water for farming make it harder to produce enough food. This forces people to come up with new, cleaner ways to increase crop yields. There are considerable concerns about food safety and quality globally as a sustainable food supply becomes more critical. Increasing the application of agrochemicals and synthetic fertilizers results in losing soil biodiversity and developing pesticide-resistant pathogens. As a result, using advanced technologies to monitor agricultural production is crucial to improving crop yields. Over the past few years, nanotechnology has opened up various possibilities for crop yield improvement and efficient food processing. Nanofibers, nanosensors, nanofertilizers, nanoherbicides and nanofungicides are examples of nanotechnology options for agricultural production systems. As nanoparticles possess specific chemical and structural characteristics, they are capable of transferring nutrients to plants, synthesizing nanopesticides and nanofungicides, and making nanosensors for detecting pesticide deficiencies. Nanotechnology applications still need to be developed. Designed to release precisely and slowly, agrochemical compounds are encapsulated in nanoparticles. This review aims to address modern agriculture's challenges related to nanotechnology, in order to develop more efficient and sustainable food production systems, and its novelty lies in evaluating nanotechnology's effectiveness by examining smart sensors, nanofertilizers for soil improvement and crop yield, controlled release of agrochemicals, improved nutrient delivery, and disease and pest management.

“…In fact, NPs are widely used in the agri-food chain, they can improve nutrients uptake in plant, they can enhance plant defense against biotic and abiotic stress and they can favor shelf-life products avoiding toxins presence (Mukarram et al, 2022). Indeed, its use has a promising impact on morphological, biochemical and physiological crop traits (Mahmoud et al, 2023), they allow an herbicide precise dose application (Amna et al, 2019) and they guarantee a better food coobservability (Bamisaye et al, 2023). This review aims to analyze the benefits and negative effects of the use of nanoparticles for reducing the influence of climate changes on agricultural chemical inputs, the control of crop pests and pathogens and food health and security.…”

Currently, one of the main challenges is the mitigation of the effects of climate change on the agricultural sector. Conventional agriculture, with the intensive use of herbicides and pesticides to control weeds and pests, and the improper use of mineral fertilizers, contributes to climate change by causing increased greenhouse gases and groundwater pollution. Therefore, more innovative technologies must be used to overcome these problems. One possible solution is nanotechnology, which has the potential to revolutionize the conventional agricultural system. Active nanoparticles can be used both as a direct source of micronutrients and as a delivery platform for bioactive agrochemicals to improve crop growth, yield and quality. The use of nanoparticle formulations, including nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, nano-fertilizers and nano-emulsions, has been extensively studied to improve crop health and shelf life of agricultural products. Comprehensive knowledge of the interactions between plants and nanoparticles opens up new opportunities to improve cropping practices through the enhancement of properties such as disease resistance, crop yield, and nutrient use. The main objective of this review is to analyze the main effects of climate change on conventional agricultural practices, such as the use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. It also focuses on how the introduction of nanoparticles into conventional practices can improve the efficiency of chemical pest control and crop nutrition. Finally, this review examines in depth the last 10 years (2014-2024) of scientific literature regarding the use of nanoparticles in agriculture to mitigate the effects of climate change.

“…Nevertheless, the predominance of weeds, which afflict farmers with an unending barrage, including their proneness to grow faster than cultivated plants has significantly constrained crop productivity [1]. The weeds that plague crops today have been related to their capacity to exert competition for soil nutrients, water, minerals, light, space and other resources [2]. The serious threat of weeds to the plants also includes with the way they act as an alternate host, harbouring insects, pests and diseases [3,4].…”

2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) was successfully intercalated into zinc layered hydroxide (ZLH) by anion exchange technique followed by hydrothermal treatment, resulting in the formation of nanoherbicide, zinc-layered hydroxide-2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (ZMCPA). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was used to confirm the intercalation of herbicide into ZLH, while Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) was employed to assess the plant’s protein content and amino acid composition before and after 1 h treatment with ZnO, MCPA and ZMCPA via the foliar technique and direct soil application. The basal spacing of ZMCPA in this study is 21.6 Å at 4.0815°, revealing the triumphant incorporation of MCPA into the ZLH host. The zinc oxide (ZnO) fingerprint from 30° to 60° that certainly vanished in the ZMCPA diffractogram indicates that all ZnO has successfully converted to ZLH matrices. The FTIR spectrum of ZMCPA shows the similarity of most MCPA spectra, but with the COO– peaks at 1610 and 1700 cm–1 replacing the intense C=O band at 1742.21 cm–1, implying that the herbicide has assimilated into the host. The protein level of the plant treated with ZMCPA was discovered to be more significant, which signifies that ZLH has effectively acted as a herbicide carrier. This study has depicted the potential of ZMCPA as a more unassailable agrochemical agent in increasing crop productivity while minimizing environmental consequences. HIGHLIGHTS Successful Intercalation of MCPA into Zinc Layered Hydroxide (ZLH) Enhanced Plant Protein Levels with nanocomposite, ZMCPA Treatment ZMCPA as a potentially more effective and environmentally friendly agrochemical agent compared to the traditional agrochemical GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
