The increasing food demand as a result of the rising global population has prompted the large-scale use of fertilizers. As a result of resource constraints and low use efficiency of fertilizers, the cost to the farmer is increasing dramatically. Nanotechnology offers great potential to tailor fertilizer production with the desired chemical composition, improve the nutrient use efficiency that may reduce environmental impact, and boost the plant productivity. Furthermore, controlled release and targeted delivery of nanoscale active ingredients can realize the potential of sustainable and precision agriculture. A review of nanotechnology-based smart and precision agriculture is discussed in this paper. Scientific gaps to be overcome and fundamental questions to be answered for safe and effective development and deployment of nanotechnology are addressed.
随着全球人口的增长，对食物的需求不断增加，这促使人们大规模地使用化肥。由于资源限制和化肥利用率低，农民的成本正在大幅增加。纳米技术具有很大的潜力，可以根据需要的化学组成定制肥料生产，提高可能减少环境影响的养分利用效率，并提高植物生产力。此外，纳米级活性成分的控制释放和靶向输送可以实现可持续和精准农业的潜力。本文综述了基于纳米技术的智能和精准农业。讨论了为安全有效地开发和应用纳米技术而需要克服的科学差距和需要回答的基本问题。
