Agriculture is an area where new technologies are often applied to improve the yield of crops. Nano Agriculture involves the employment of Nanoparticles in agriculture. These particles will impart some beneficial effects to crops. The emergence of nanotechnology and the development of new Nanodevices and Nanomaterials open up potential novel applications in agriculture and biotechnology. Nanoparticles are materials that are small enough to fall within the nanometric range, with at least one of their dimensions being less than a few hundred nanometers.

Dear Ahmed
In South Africa Nano Packaging for agriculture is a very important research topic.
This is mainly because it was found that fruit and vegetables can be kept fresh for longer periods of time:

trust will be of value to your study.

Dear Ahmed, There is a magazine that focuses on such research, it is called nanotechnology, there you will find many articles about controlling plant pathogens using microparticles.
Ahmed,
I found this article useful to highlight the implications of nanotechnology to agriculture.
