Abstract:
Nanotechnology is any engineered materials, structures, systems and process which
exist or operate at a scale of 100 nm or less (1 nm=10-9m). With the development of
improve systems for monitoring environmental conditions and delivering pesticides
appropriately, nanotechnology can further improve our understanding of the biology
of different crops and thus potentially enhance yields. It can offer routes to plant
disease diagnostics, insect-pest management and efficient pesticides utilization.
Nanostructure catalysts will help in increasing the efficiency of pesticides allowing
lower doses to be used.
