Summary: The use of nanotechnology in agriculture is still in its early stages but shows promise for improving efficiency. Nanoparticles offer solutions for depleted soils, controlled release of agrochemicals, and gene editing in plants. However, there are concerns about environmental contamination and the complexity of soil-NP interactions. It is preferable for biodegradable, non-toxic, cost-effective, and sustainably manufactured nanoparticles to be used at this stage. This mini-review discusses promising organic nanomaterials for agricultural enhancement and optimization.
