Abstract

Nanotechnological techniques are promising to standard spectroscopy methods as they are more durable, sensitive, targeted, and affordable. Nanotechnology has shown significant new promising approaches for efficient nutrient management to ensure sustainable agriculture. The combined approach of nanotechnology and phytotechnology called "nano-phytoremediation" is used to reduce toxic environments and restore these degraded resources. Nanotechnology also has a significant impact on nutrient uptake in precision agriculture. It's an eco-friendly and cost-effective method for managing and cleaning up soil conditions. Nanoremediation employs nanomaterials to enhance adsorption and sequestration of pollutants and has emerged as a cutting-edge approach with promising in situ and ex situ applications. Applications based on nanotechnology are easy to use, inexpensive, and suggest improved remediation and treatment techniques that could significantly lower soil contamination.
