Increment of technical knowledge has remarkably uplifted logical thinking among scientific communities to shape the theoretical concepts into near product-oriented research. The concept of nanotechnology has overwhelmed almost all forms of lives and has traded its applications in myriad fields. Despite rapid expansion of nanotechnology, sustainable competitions still do exist in the field of agriculture. In current scenario, agriculture is a manifestation demand to provide adequate nutrition for relentless growing global population. It is estimated that nearly one-third of the global crop production is destroyed annually. The loss owes to various stresses such as pest infestation, microbial pathogens, weeds, natural calamities, lack of soil fertility and much more. In order to overcome these limitations, various technological strategies are implemented but a majority of these have their own repercussions. Hence there is a scrawling progress on the evaluation of nanoparticles into agriculture sector which can reform the modern agricultural system. Applications of these nanomaterials can add tremendous value in the current scenario of a global food scarcity. Nanotechnology can address the adverse effects posed by the abundant use of chemical agrochemicals which are reported to cause biomagnification in an ecosystem. Based on these facts and consideration, present review envisages on nanoparticles as nanoherbicides, nanopesticides, onsite detection agro-pathogens and nanoparticles in post harvest management. The review also elucidates on the importance of nanoparticles in soil fertility, irrigation management and its influence on improving crop yield. With scanty reports available on nanotechnology in agriculture system, present review attributes toward developing nanoagroparticles as the future prospect which can give new facelift for existing agriculture system.
技术知识的增长显著提升了科学界的逻辑思维，将理论概念塑造成近乎以产品为导向的研究。纳米技术的概念几乎涵盖了所有生命形式，并在众多领域得到应用。尽管纳米技术迅速发展，但农业领域仍存在持续的竞争。在当前情况下，农业是为不断增长的全球人口提供充足营养的必然需求。据估计，全球每年近三分之一的作物产量遭到破坏。损失归因于各种压力，如虫害、微生物病原体、杂草、自然灾害、土壤肥力不足等等。为了克服这些限制，人们实施了各种技术策略，但其中大多数都有其自身的影响。因此，将纳米颗粒应用于农业领域的评估进展缓慢，而纳米颗粒有望改革现代农业系统。在全球粮食短缺的当前情况下，这些纳米材料的应用可以带来巨大价值。纳米技术可以解决大量使用化学农药所带来的不利影响，据报道，这些化学农药会在生态系统中导致生物放大作用。基于这些事实和考虑，本综述探讨了纳米颗粒作为纳米除草剂、纳米农药、现场检测农业病原体以及收获后管理中的纳米颗粒的应用。综述还阐明了纳米颗粒在土壤肥力、灌溉管理中的重要性及其对提高作物产量的影响。由于关于农业系统中纳米技术的报道较少，本综述将开发纳米农业颗粒视为未来的前景，这可以为现有的农业系统带来新的面貌。
