Investigation of nanotechnology in the production of horticultural cropes

This review explores the application of nano technology in horticultural. Nanotechnology enhances horticulture productivity through nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, carbon nanotubes, and nanosensors, promoting sustainable practices. It improves nutrient utilization, reduces decay, maintain quality, reduce stress tolerance, enhance plant grafting success rates and addresses fruits and vegetables security challenges. The application of nanotechnology in horticultural presents significant opportunities to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental risks. Nanopesticides improve the efficacy of pest control by enabling targeted delivery, which reduces the quantity needed and minimizes environmental impact. Nanofertilizers can increase nutrient use efficiency by up to ۳۰% and crop yields by ۲۰%, allowing for a reduction of conventional fertilizer use by ۵۰%. They facilitate controlled-release mechanisms, which help in reducing soil toxicity and nutrient losses.
