Abstract : Nanotechnology is revolutionizing agronomy through interventions in precision agriculture aimed at improving soil condition, productivity, and sustainability. The present review considers the latest progressions made within the field, both good and bad, in the realm of nano-techniques within agriculture such as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanosensors, and the fact that smart delivery systems do exist. It is the peculiar physicochemical nature of manufactured nanomaterials, which includes such features as large surface areas, different degrees of reactivity and even regulated release characteristics that facilitate soil decomposition, nutrient efficiency, and reduced loss of agrochemicals. Recent scientific findings show the possible impact of nanofertilizers on the increased bioavailability of macronutrients and micronutrients, along with the decreased rate of nitrogen fixing and volatilization. Nanotechnologies in crop protection enable effective biological regulation with low levels of chemical substances involved. The current review also stresses the importance of nano-sensors and nano-biosensors for precision farming because these devices enable real-time monitoring of nutrient content in soil, soil moisture, abiotic stress conditions, and even pathogens that indicate soil contamination. The use of nano-remediation techniques based on the use of reactive nanoparticles is shown to yield good results in detoxification of contaminated soils and bringing soil life back to normal. However, the issue of persistence and ecotoxicology of nanoparticles should not be ignored.This review emphasizes the significance of safe-by-design nanomaterials, biodegradable delivery systems, and standardized approaches to assessing risks to ensure environmental and food safety. This study presents a comprehensive framework to facilitate the adoption of nanotechnology in agricultural applications through the combination of agronomic benefits, soil condition indicators, and ecotoxicity, as well as future technological integration with artificial intelligence and Internet-of-things (IoT). The results emphasize the potential of nanotechnology to help develop climate-resilient and sustainable agriculture.

Keywords : Nanotechnology, Crop Productivity, Environmental Sustainability, Nano Fertilisers, Nano Pesticides, Soil Health, Nutrient Use Efficiency.
