Abstract

Because of the inadequacy in arable lands and water resources, the improvement of agriculture segment is only promising by increasing of resources use efficiency with the least destruction to production bed through effective use of modern technologies. Among these, nanotechnology has the prospective to transform the agricultural structures, biomedicine, environmental engineering, safety and security, water resources, energy conversion, and various other areas. Nanostructured design through mechanisms such as targeted supply or slow/controlled release mechanisms and conditional release, could release their active constituents in reacting to environmental triggers and natural hassles more specifically. Studies indicates that the use of nanofertilizers causes an recovery in nutrients use efficiency, minimizes soil toxicity, curtails the forthcoming negative effects related with over dosage and reduces the frequency of the application. Hence, nanotechnology has a high potential for attaining sustainable agriculture, especially in emerging nations. Key words: Nanotechnology, Nanoporous Zeolites, nutrients use Efficiency, applications in agriculture
