Nanotechnology has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation in agriculture, offering precise and sustainable solutions for crop protection and soil health management. By leveraging nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, and nanocapsules, researchers have developed advanced systems for targeted agrochemical delivery, enhanced nutrient uptake, and improved soil fertility. This review critically examines recent advancements in nanotechnology applications, including nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, and nanosensors, while addressing their environmental and safety implications. We also discuss challenges and future prospects for integrating nanotechnology into sustainable agricultural practices. The findings highlight nanotechnology's potential to revolutionize modern farming while emphasizing the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure safe and large-scale adoption.
