Nanomaterials (NMs) have proven to be a game-changer in agriculture, showcasing their potential to boost plant growth and safeguarding crops. The agricultural sector has widely adopted NMs, benefiting from their small size, high surface area, and optical properties to augment crop productivity and provide protection against various stressors. This is attributed to their unique characteristics, contributing to their widespread use in agriculture. Human exposure from various components of agro-environmental sectors (soil, crops) NMs residues are likely to upsurge with exposure paths may stimulates bioaccumulation in food chain. With the aim to achieve sustainability, nanotechnology (NTs) do exhibit its potentials in various domains of agriculture also have its flip side too. In this review article we have opted a fusion approach using bibliometric based analysis of global research trend followed by a holistic assessment of pros and cons i.e. toxicological aspect too. Moreover, we have also tried to analyse the current scenario of policy associated with the application of NMs in agro-environment.
纳米材料（NMs）已被证明是农业领域的重大突破，它们具有促进植物生长和保护作物的潜力。农业部门广泛采用纳米材料，受益于其小尺寸、高表面积和光学特性，以提高作物生产力并提供抵御各种胁迫的保护。这归因于它们独特的特性，促成了它们在农业中的广泛应用。人类可能会因暴露于 agro-environmental 领域（土壤、作物）的纳米材料残留中的各种成分而受到暴露，暴露途径可能会刺激食物链中的生物积累。为了实现可持续性，纳米技术（NTs）在农业的各个领域确实表现出了潜力，也有其不利的一面。在这篇综述文章中，我们采用了一种融合方法，使用基于文献计量的全球研究趋势分析，然后对利弊进行全面评估，也包括毒理学方面。此外，我们还试图分析与纳米材料在 agro-environment 中的应用相关的政策的现状。
