New advances in nanotechnology are driving a wave of technology revolution impacting a broad range of areas in agricultural production. The current work reviews nanopesticides, nano-fabricated fertilizers, and nano activity-based growth promoters reported in the last several years, focusing on mechanisms revealed for preparation and functioning. It appears to us that with many fundamental concepts have been demonstrated over last two decades, new advances in this area continue to expand mainly in three directions, i.e., efficiency improvement, material sustainability and environment-specific stimulation functionalities. It is also evident that environmental and health concerns associated with nano agrochemicals are the primary motivation and focus for most recent work. Challenges and perspectives for future development of nano agrochemicals are also discussed.
纳米技术的新进展正在推动一波技术革命浪潮,影响着农业生产的广泛领域。当前的工作回顾了过去几年报道的纳米农药、纳米制造肥料和基于纳米活性的生长促进剂,重点关注其制备和作用机制。在我们看来,尽管在过去二十年里已经证明了许多基本概念,但该领域的新进展主要继续在三个方向上扩展,即提高效率、材料可持续性和针对特定环境的刺激功能。同样明显的是,与纳米农用化学品相关的环境和健康问题是近期工作的主要动机和重点。还讨论了纳米农用化学品未来发展的挑战和前景。
