Biosynthesized nanoparticles as a rescue aid for agricultural sustainability and development

The applications of NPs in agriculture is a crucial tool for modern-day effective agricultural practice. NPs have been noted for efficient stimulation of plant growth, preservation of crops against precarious diseases, promotion of crop quality and yield, packaging material for farm products, vaccination of fishes and other farm animals. The goal of sustainable farming can be achieved by exploring the importance of NPs in developing agricultural practices to meet the demand for food and agricultural product across the globe without any threat to the environment and human. This review aims to advance our understanding about several importance of NPs in fishery, crop production and preservation. It provides a holistic view on the usefulness of NPs in multiple aspects of agriculture, from the synthesis of nanoparticles to prevent crops from pest, prevent agricultural products from spoilage and provision of nutrients to crops throughout their life span. It also drives toward the qualitative and quantitative increase in the yield of agricultural products. The route for the proper synthesis and characterization of nonhazardous NPs with efficient yield was comprehensively discussed.
