This document discusses the potential applications of nanotechnology in agriculture. It outlines how nanotechnology can be used to reduce the usage of pesticides and fertilizers through more targeted delivery methods like nano capsules and nanoparticles. It also describes how nanotechnology enables improved disease prevention, soil treatment, genetic modification, livestock monitoring, and food processing/storage. Specific tools of nanotechnology that could benefit agriculture are identified as nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanosensors, and nanoporous zeolites. The document concludes by noting additional areas where nanotechnology could help meet UN sustainable development goals, as well as requirements needed for implementation in agriculture.

Editor's Notes
- Hello and Thank you for coming Welcome to my presentation On application of .. My name And I am student Interning at KOPIA Lets begin http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=37064.php https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/sites/default/files/ipts_jrc_89736_%28online%29__final.pdf
- Nanometer scale: 1-100nm, allows manipulation of individual atoms and molecules Working at the nanoscale will enable the development of more effective and cheaper technology to improve the world Unique physical, chemical, electrical, mechanical, optical and magnetic characteristics) In developing countries nanotechnologies can have important applications in several agri-food areas, such as food security, input delivery, rice production systems, agri-biotechnology, healthcare of animals, precision farming, food industry and water use Read more: Nanotechnology in agriculture
- Resist degradation and exhibit targeting. Smaller amount, more effective, less environmental damage. Innovation is needed in agriculture to feed the worlds booming population without causing irreparable harm to the environment Innovation: Technical innovation in agriculture is of extreme importance, in particular to address global challenges such as population growth, climate change and the limited availability of important plant nutrients such as phosphorus and potassium. Cheaply effectively no envir damage Incremetal improvements to existing systems Farmers will hare more reliable methods of crop control.
- Primary tools that will be applied to Agriculture. Nanocapsules: hollow shells that can be filled with and active agent and modified for the desired release Zeolites: honeycomb like structure for slow release. Also for absorption of toxins Capsules: active compounds protected from degradation (by external agents or the crop itself). The compounds are not involuntarily dispersed into the soil, allowing the use of a reduced amount of active compounds for plant treatments and consequently causing a lower environmental impact. Other environmental benefits of using nanodevices, e.g. nanoclays, derive from the potential reduction of leaching and further water contamination. Additionally, thanks to the protective capsule, it is possible to use also labile chemical products for plant protection, which can be less harmful to the environment and are currently not employed in agriculture because of their quick degradation. Finally, nanoparticles linked with biomolecules with specific affinity (e.g. antibodies or aptamers) guarantee the selectivity and specificity of targets. http://www.teara.govt.nz/files/di-5261-enz.jpg
- According to literature, there are many opportunities in the application of nano-scale pesticides and fertilizers, in particular to avoid unwanted losses due to the way of application, volatilisation or chemical reactions, excretion by the plant, microbial degradation, etc8 . Nanotechnology can contribute to minimise these losses thanks to a more stable emulsion, better leaf coverage, lower application rates, precise application, UV-protection and controlled release. Zeolite: supplement that traps heavy metals and toxins for removal. Also used to slow release fertilizer, nutrients, drugs
- Smaller amount of active compound for equal effectiveness As an example, in Canada polymer nanoparticles have been developed that are less than 10nm in size and hold active pesticide ingredients to be delivered to plants13. These particles show the advantage of coating leaves evenly and improve plant penetration. Nanocapsules protect the active compound and improve the solubility and the penetration into plant tissues. The capsule shell can be designed to relese the compound quickly or gradually after the shell opening is triggered by certain circumstances.

- An example of application of nanocapsules for plant protection is the use of nanodisks for delivering amphotericin B, an important antimicotic. The nanodisk is a matrix composed by a bilayer of phospholipids containing the molecules of amphotericin inside16. This structure protects amphotericin molecules against the degradation by external agents (e.g. pH or light) while improving its solubilisation. Particles TiO2 photocatalysts.
- Geohumus, is a soil enhancer in a granular form that demonstrates swelling capacity, perfect long term mineralisation of water (ideal for continuous supply of water) and improved biological activity in soil. According to numerous studies, the use of Geohumus leads to improved root formation, improved aeration of the soil, and improved retention of nutrients and minerals, resulting in faster and better growth of plants, a greater yield and earlier harvest.
- The most important nanostructures for sensors and diagnostic devices are fullerenes, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanoparticles, nanocolums, nanocavities, graphene and carbon quantum dots. Decreased sensor and sample size Direct soil analysis using chemical mircoscopes without sampling, solvents, and reagent delivery More information to farmers – better decisions regarding their crops
- Nanoparticles carrying nucleic acid constructs and with specific ligands to penetrate the cell wall can increase the delivery of nucleic acid vectors into the plant cells, enhancing GM plant development. Can be used with any plant species, opposed to current transgenesis methods. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation can only be applied to selected species. Increased efficiency in transformation rate and ability to aim for both permanaent and temporal genetic transformations (gene silencing). Can also be used in vivo, not only in vitro. In vivo allows specific transformation on individual plant organs or parts (fruits, branches, etc.) https://www.google.com/search?q=food+packaging&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIidKL1pPRxwIVQ4HbCh0UWASE&biw=1173&bih=885#tbs=isz:lt%2Cislt:vga&tbm=isch&q=nano+particles&imgrc=42jm6aPQPyOYcM%3A

- Lowering cost for mass development and deployment. No companies produce nanomaterials at a scale suitable for mass agricultural use. Lower costs will enable the future of agricultural nanotechnology. Starch-based nanomaterials. Only using nanomaterials that are know to be non toxic and biodegradable In this respect, particularly attractive are nanoparticles derived from biopolymers such as proteins and carbohydrates with low impact on human health and the environment. For instance, the potential of starch-based nanoparticles as nontoxic and sustainable delivery systems for agrochemicals and biostimulants is being extensively investigated. The most important environmental compartment for agricultural production is the soil, therefore more studies should investigate the behaviour and the effects of nanomaterials in natural soils under environmental conditions. ( Need studies on potential toxicity of some nano materials on plants and the environment. Saftey and information for the end consumer ) – Use of only non-toxic materials elimintates this risk http://enghunan.gov.cn/SP/Journal2011/201107/W020111229541987651213.jpg
