Abstract:
Understanding and modifying matter at scales measurable in nanometres is called nanotechnology (1-100 nm). Unique physical and chemical characteristics, such as face area, severance size, flyspeck shape, and reactivity, define nanoparticles (Bandala and Berli, 2018). When delivered by the epidermal foliar route, Li et al. discovered the presence of Ag-NPs with sizes ranging from 24.8 to 38.6 nm within lettuce leaves. Strawberry plants that were sprayed with Se-NPs enhanced their salt tolerance and yield. Numerous variables, including the donor plant, the age and kind of the explant, the culture media, and growth regulators, all affect commercial in vitro propagation (Rai et al., 2022). According to reports, CeO2 accumulates and translocate to the aerial and edible tissues of horticulture crops with little to no harm (Majumdar et al., 2016). TiO2 nanoparticles have a strong antimicrobial impact. Because of their antibacterial properties, NPs are frequently utilised in disinfection processes. Se-NPs were applied as a foliar spray to strawberry plants to improve their tolerance to salt and yield. This improvement was attributed to Se-NPs' capacity to shield photosynthetic pigments. The same treatment reduced fruit breaking in pomegranates brought on by drought stress as compared to a non-NF treatment. Due to their numerous inventive delivery techniques, nanoherbicides can function as intelligent herbicides and are typically safe. Compared to current techniques and herbicide formulations, they are more stable and long-lasting. More study is needed before they are applied in commercial agriculture. Nanomaterials can be used in a variety of overlapping ways in food packaging systems. Grey nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) can be used as antimicrobial moderator which prevents the action to microbes. Compared to current techniques and herbicide formulations, they are more stable.
