2. AGENDA
● INTRODUCTION
● Nanotechnology for detecting plant disease
● Carbon nanotubes
● Nano sensors
● Nano filters
● Nano fertilizers
● Nano coatings
● Impact of environment
● Conclusions.

3. INTRODUCTION
● It deliver drugs or micronutrients at the
right time and to the right part of the
material.
● Nanotechnology has a great potential to
make agriculture more efficient by using
nano sensors and nano agricultural
chemicals.

4. NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR DETECTING
PLANT DISEASE
The tons of food can be
protected from possible
outbreak.
1
The technique that takes less time
and that can give results within few
seconds.
2
Nanosensors linked into a GPS
system for real time monitoring.
3
It allowing an earlier response to
environmental changes and
disease.

5. CARBON NANOTUBES:
CNTs have become attractive electronic
material to date and their application in
future bio sensing chips.It is a vehicle to
deliver desired molecule into the seeds
during germination to protect them
from the diseases.

10. And destroy bacteria in the presence
of light and humidity.
It could be used to oxidize.
It consist of NANO - TITANIUM
DIOXIDE.
Self- sanitizing photocatalyst coating
for use in poultry house.
NANO COATINGS

11. IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
Nanotechnology will also help protect
the environment indirectly through the
use of alternative energy supplies, and
filters or catalysts to reduce pollution
and clean -up existing pollution.

12. MAJOR CHALLENGES OF AGRICULTURE TO
BE ADDRESSED BY NANOTECHNOLOGY:
1 Food security for
growing numbers.
numbers
2 Low productivity in
cultivativable areas.
3 shrinkage of
cultivativable areas
4 Unsustainable farm
management.
5 Lower agricultural
input efficiency.

13. CONCLUSION
Nanotechnology can contribute to
enhancing agriculture in sustainable
manner , using agricultural input more
effectively.It improving a food safety
and quality control.
