    Ayush kumar
    Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the nanoscale and has various applications in agriculture. It can be used to create nano fertilizers that encapsulate nutrients for controlled release to plants, and nano carriers that deliver genetic materials to plants. Specific applications include using nano carbon materials like carbon nanotubes to improve crop yield and soil health due to their thermal and electrical properties. Nano silver has antimicrobial properties and can be used to treat irrigation water to prevent spread of disease. Nano silicon acts as a nutrient when applied to plants, strengthening cell walls and increasing disease and stress resistance. Overall, nanotechnology techniques help enhance agricultural productivity while reducing waste and environmental pollution.

    plants.
    NANO PARTICLES CONTROLLING THE
    PLANT DISEASES

    ⚫Nano Carbon

    ⚫Nano Silver

    ⚫Silicon
    NANO CARBON

    The use of nano carbon materials in agriculture holds great promise for
    enhancing various aspects of farming practices. Nano carbon materials, such as
    carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, possess unique properties that can be
    harnessed to improve crop yield, soil health, and environmental sustainability

     thermal conductors,
     these nanotubes also host unique electrical properties surprisingly
    strong.
     itwill not have any toxic or inhibiting or adverse effect on the
    plant.
    NANO SILVER

     In agriculture, nano silver has various applications, although it is


    essential to consider both its benefits and potential environmental
    impact.
     Nano silver can be used in water treatment systems for agricultural
    irrigation. It helps in removing bacteria and other microorganisms from
    irrigation water, preventing the spread of diseases in plants
     strong inhibitory and bactericidal effects
     a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities.
     high surface area and high fraction of surface atoms,
    NANO SILICON
    Silicon is the second most abundant element on Earth, and its
    nanoparticles have gained significant attention in agricultural
    research due to their potential benefits for plants
    Nano silicon, when applied to plants, acts as a supplementary
    nutrient, enhancing plant growth and development. It
    strengthens cell walls, making plants more resistant to biotic
    and abiotic stresses.
    Silicon (Si) is known to be absorbed into plants to increase
    disease resistance and stress resistance
