Conventional agricultural practices have become increasingly impractical due to their high inefficiency and overuse, posing serious threats to ecosystem stability and health. Nanohybrids refer to a class of composite materials comprised of nanomaterials combined with diverse materials, including inorganic, polymeric, or biological materials, resulting in hybrid structures with unique functional features such as greater mechanical strength, catalytic activity, and biocompatibility, thus providing advanced frameworks with a vast variety of applications in the agriculture sector. Nanohybrids can augment the functional capabilities of plants, such as photosynthesis and stress tolerance, enabling crops to thrive under diverse climatic conditions. Additionally, nanohybrid-based agricultural practices can improve growth and productivity of crops by providing them with essential nutrients in a more controlled and precise manner. Importantly, nanohybrid-based systems can shield plants against biotic (pest and pathogen attacks) and abiotic (drought, salinity, temperature, and pH etc.) stressors by activating sophisticated, interconnected, and intricate antioxidative or genetic defense responses. Here, we provide a critical overview of nanohybrid-enabled strategies for improving agriculture practices and plant health under biotic and abiotic environmental challenges. We also highlight the transformative potential of nanohybrid-based smart agrochemicals for developing sustainable and eco-stable agricultural systems, thereby ensuring global food security.
传统农业 practices 因其低效和过度使用而变得越来越不切实际，对生态系统的稳定性和健康构成严重威胁。纳米杂化物是指一类由纳米材料与包括无机、聚合物或生物材料在内的多种材料组合而成的复合材料，形成具有独特功能特性（如更高的机械强度、催化活性和生物相容性）的杂化结构，从而为农业领域提供具有广泛应用的先进框架。纳米杂化物可以增强植物的功能能力，如光合作用和抗逆性，使作物能够在不同的气候条件下茁壮成长。此外，基于纳米杂化物的农业 practices 可以通过以更可控和精确的方式为作物提供必需营养来提高作物的生长和生产力。重要的是，基于纳米杂化物的系统可以通过激活复杂、相互关联和错综复杂的抗氧化或基因防御反应来保护植物免受生物（害虫和病原体攻击）和非生物（干旱、盐碱化、温度和 pH 等）胁迫。在此，我们对在生物和非生物环境挑战下改善农业 practices 和植物健康的纳米杂化物驱动策略进行了批判性综述。我们还强调了基于纳米杂化物的智能农用化学品在开发可持续和生态稳定农业系统方面的变革潜力，从而确保全球粮食安全。
