Nanotechnology and Horticultural sector

There is more attention to use the Nanotechnology applications in various fields from the last few decades, whereas, in the agricultural sector, Nanotechnology has precious characters in the delivery of the various agrochemicals for enhancing plant resistance, plant growth, and nutrient use. From one hand, there is increasingly interesting to use different nano applications like Nanofertilizers, Nanocides, Nano-coating materials, Nanocarrier, and Nano-biosensors in improving horticultural production, from another hand, using nano applications in postharvest processing improving freshness, enhancing quality, and extended shelf life of horticultural products particularly perishable products and control disease activity during storage, also, Bio-Nanotechnology could protect soil and water by using designed Nanosensors linked to the global position system, which is more sensitive and show earlier response to environmental changes.
