Abstract

Agriculture is an important sector that provides immense opportunities for development and livelihood for over half of the world’s population. Globally, India is the second leading country in the production of agricultural commodities. The agricultural sector is confronted with huge issues such as rapid climatic change, a decline in soil fertility, nutrient deficiency, excessive use of chemicals and pesticides, and the presence of toxic metals in soil. However, the world population growth has subsequently increased the food demand. Nanomaterials have gotten a lot of attention in recent decades due to their multiple applications in industries like health, chemistry, energy, and textiles. Nanomaterials have recently been explored as an alternative approach to control plant pests, provide nutrients to soil, and help in the protection of the environment. Several nanosensors have been used for the detection and monitoring of plant illnesses, pesticide residues, pH, and soil fertility. Therefore, in this chapter, we highlight the role of nanomaterials in disease management, crop protection, and the development of sustainable agricultural practices.
