Abstract
Rapid development of nanotechnology has been promoting the transformation of traditional agriculture, more precisely the invention of nano-pesticides, and nano-fertilizers. Numerous methods and nanomaterials have been developed for agricultural sector such as proper crop growths, crop protection, taking care of seasonal crops, and monitoring the environmental conditions. Utilization of nanomaterials can prompt fine cultivating, which fundamentally improves precision farming efficiency. In this article, analysis of nanomaterials will be reviewed up, and promising capacities. Review aims to explore the nanomaterials which are appropriate for precision farming. We conclude that nanotechnology offers wide opportunities, by providing a sustainable alternative in the agriculture.
