Yes dear Ajit I think that will doing a really revolution in agricoltir sector

Yes of course nanotechnology is the future

Dear Dr panda

your points a quite interesting .we may have to convince the scientific boards for commercialization.thanks.

ajit

It is a difficult question which needs to be studied very thoroughly.

Because - at present it is well known and well proved that nano-amounts of

e.g., fertilizers - work as effective as Kilograms - to which people are used to use. The effect efficacy of soil treatment with pesticides, fertilizers etc...

can be described as a saw-like curve which extends over many decimal orders. in other words - in place of 1kg , say pesticide - one can use 0.01 gr - with the same success.

The main question, however, is that the particles in the mentioned 0.01 gr - are not necessarily - All of nano-size.

And how the NANO-SIZE particles will affect the human health - is not exactly clear yet.

Of course yes nano Technology is every where and I also support idea of Leonid V Vladimirov

right dr Leonid-It requires thorough study.

Your recommendations are my inspirations@

• Saloomeh Jahanforouz
• Leonid V Vladimirov
• Anastas Ivanov Ivanov
• Hassan Alshamsi
• Jens Uhlemann

and 1 other

Yes, certainly,such as slow-release system including pesticides,herbicides , fertilizers or fungicides. In such system developing pesticides,herbicides , fertilizers or fungicides enclosed in nanocapsules or made up of nanoparticles .

thanks dr Hassan for valuable answer.

Yes. But how? I believe nanotechnology will be useful in plant genetic engineering and also remover of heavy metals from soil thereby improving food product quality.

Yeah ofcourse. Nanotechnology will play a pivotal role in almost all sectors.

Have a look at the paper titled "

Agricultural Nanotechnologies: What are the current possibilities?"

Hi Dr. Ansari thanks for valuable answer.

ajit

Useful paper dr Upadhyay.thanks.

Nanotechnology in agriculture includes nanofertilizers and nanopesticides and nutrients levels to increase the productivity without decontamination of soils, waters, and protection against several insect pest and microbial diseases. It may act as sensors for monitoring soil quality of agricultural field and thus it maintain the health of agricultural plants.

Try to refer the paper

"Nanotechnology in Sustainable Agriculture: Recent Developments, Challenges, and Perspectives"

Definitely nanotechnology is the next technological boom.

Not only in water treatment it also comes handy in the sector of agriculture. Silver is known for antibacterial properties and there are few plant species which produce silver nanoparticles in their leaves and these nanoparticles act against species of subtilisin etc.,

Titanium dioxide is photocatalytic and can be synthesised by green methods using been leaves as precursor and is also antibacterial ..

The fact that properties become uncontrollable when a material is made to nanosize can be put to great advantage in the fertiliser industry .

But disposal or the effect of exposure if these nanoparticles on environment needs to be studied extensively and a safe disposal method or solution needs to ne devised for ex titanium is known to disturb the reproduction cycles of earthworm...such effects need to he considered.

Certain moral and ethical reasons cloud the herald if nanotechnology as the next generation Technology in agriculture.

But worth giving a try

really boost for fertilizer industry will help boost agricultural production that what is needed to feed starving millions.thanks dr Krishnan for valuable input.

Dr. Yehya A. Salih,many thanks for recommending my answer.

That's a very difficult question. While there is no methodology for predicting the behavior of nano substances.

Nanotechnology has been heralded as a new industrial revolution - as in the 18th and 19th centuries, nanotech has the potential to bring about drastic changes in the agricultural industry. The development of new nanotech-based tools and equipment may help to increase efficiency and overcome challenges faced by the agricultural industry. Some of these challenges include the increasing threats to agricultural production and risks of plant-related diseases. The agricultural sector will benefit greatly from nanotech-based tools to detect diseases in a rapid manner, improve the ability of plants to absorb nutrients and promote molecular treatment of diseases.Nanotechnology will play a vital role in the development of the agricultural sector, as it is capable of being used in agricultural products that protect plants and monitor plant growth and detect diseases. Scientists have been working towards exploring new applications of nanotechnology in agriculture and the food industry - if these discoveries are applied sensibly, the environment, the agricultural sector and the food industry will indeed see tremendous changes for the better in the coming years.

There is no doubt about that, it already has!

Thank u all fr posting valuable answers.These will add to our knowledge surely.

Yes, however we must be careful of long term effects and toxicity.

I agree
