Abstract
Abiotic stress is a major barrier to global agricultural output and food security. To address these challenges and achieve sustainability, innovative strategies like nanotechnology are essential. Nanotechnology leverages nanoscale items such as nanopesticides, nanofungicides, nanofertilizers, and nanoherbicides to enhance crop yield. The reduced size, easy solubility, and efficient uptake of nanoparticles make them valuable tools in modern agriculture. Studies have shown that nanoparticles can significantly improve both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of crop yield under various biotic and abiotic stress conditions. This review explores the significant physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes that nanoparticles induce in plants, helping them tolerate stress conditions. It also examines the different types of abiotic stresses that plants face and the role of nanoparticles in mitigating these stresses, highlighting the potential of nanotechnology in enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.
