Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising avenue to address critical challenges in agriculture, aiming to enhance crop productivity while minimizing the environmental impact of conventional agricultural practices. This abstract provides an overview of the impact of nanoparticles (NPs) on soil health and crop growth. Engineered NPs, with their unique physicochemical properties, offer new opportunities for improving nutrient delivery, pest control, and stress tolerance in crops. However, their introduction into agricultural systems raises questions about potential adverse effects on soil ecosystems and the environment.The use of NPs in agriculture can lead to both positive and negative consequences. Positive effects include increased nutrient availability through enhanced fertilizer delivery, improved water retention, and controlled release of agrochemicals, contributing to enhanced soil health and crop yields. On the other hand, the release of NPs into soil can pose risks such as soil contamination, alterations in microbial communities, and potential bioaccumulation in crops, with unknown consequences for food safety.This abstract highlights the need for a balanced approach to harness the benefits of nanotechnology in agriculture while carefully considering its potential environmental impacts. To ensure sustainable agricultural practices, comprehensive research efforts must be directed toward understanding the fate and behavior of NPs in soils, assessing their long-term effects on soil ecosystems, and developing responsible guidelines for their application. Achieving this balance will be pivotal in harnessing the full potential of nanotechnology to address the growing global food security challenges while safeguarding our environment.
