Abstract:

In recent years, the application of nanomaterial and nanotechnology on the field of agriculture has made some progress. This review  summarized the main progress of the applications of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in agriculture, including delivery of agricultural inputs, plant and animal breeding, agro-product processing, environment rehabilitation, nano-detection and other aspects. But at present, the application of nanotechnology in agriculture is still in its nascent stage. Some applications have been demonstrated at concept and experimental stage, and greater efforts are still required for commercialization. In addition, the characteristics of nanomaterials may cause potential safety problems due to the special nature, so it is very essential to choose environmental friendly nanomaterials and study their applications for the development of nanotechnology in agriculture.

Key words: nanotechnology, nanomaterial, agriculture, application, safety, environment friendly
