Nanotechnology, by virtue of nanomaterial related properties, has potential agro-biotechnological applications for alleviation of these problems. The literature pertaining to the role of nanotechnology in plant and soil systems demonstrates that nanomaterials may assist in a) the controlled release of agrochemicals for nutrition and protection against pests and pathogens, b) delivery of genetic material, c) sensitive detection of plant disease and pollutants and d) protection and formation of soil structure. For instance, porous silica (15 nm) and biodegradable, polymeric chitosan (78 nm) nanoparticles displayed slow release of encapsulated pesticide and fertilizer, respectively. Further, nanosized gold (5-25 nm) delivered DNA to plant cells while iron oxide (30 nm) based nanosensors detected pesticides at minute levels. These functions assist the development of precision farming by minimizing pollution and maximizing the value of farming practice. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Exposure to agrochemicals had deleterious health effects such as nervous system damage and cancer. Biological magnification of persistent agrochemicals also occurred. Hence, remediation approaches for agrochemical pollution must be a holistic approach, including environment and crop produces. The advent of nanotechnology helped to formulate highly efficient methods for the remediation of agrochemicals. High reactive surface area and very small packing space requirements made usage of nanoparticles as a popular agent in agrochemical remediation. Growing interests in surface-engineered nanoparticles promise complete removal of agrochemicals from the environment. Nanosorbents immobilized agrochemicals in the soil and helped microbial degradation of these compounds. However, many of the agrochemicals are persistent, and hence complete removal of these residues practice via photocatalysis. Photocatalytic degradation of persistent agrochemicals using bimetallic nanocomposites widely adopted. Large-scale environmental remediation of agrochemicals in soil, water, and agriculture products achieved via nanoparticles-based agrochemical cleaning systems such as thin-film fixed-bed reactors and nano-phytoremediation.</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NA</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
