नैनोकण: सब्जी बीज उत्पादन के भविष्य को शक्ति प्रदान करना Nanoparticles are incredibly small particles that measure around one billionth of a meter in size. As a result of their small size, nanoparticles are able to interact with biological systems in ways that traditional materials cannot. They can be used to create nanomaterials which can be used for a number of applications, such as in drug delivery, medical imaging, cancer research, and in the production of vegetable seeds. The use of nanoparticles in vegetable seed production can provide a much higher yield of seeds due to their size and ability to interact with biological systems. The particles can be manipulated to carry specific genetic information, allowing scientists to alter the makeup of the vegetable seeds and improve the nutrition and viability of the seeds. This may allow for the production of stronger and better-performing vegetables. In addition, nanomaterials can provide a layer of protection to the seeds which may make them more resistant to disease and pests. This can be particularly important in the production of vegetable seeds, as they are prone to problems due to the complexity of the growing cycle and environmental factors. Finally, nanoparticles can also be used in the development of seed coatings which can enhance the seed’s adhesion to...

नैनोटेक्नोलॉजी: कृषि फसलों में फसल सुधार का एक आधुनिक दृष्टिकोण Nanofertilizers in agriculture aid in enhancing plant growth. The results of cutting-edge nanobiotechnological research include nanopesticides, nanoinsecticides, nanofungicides, and nanoherbicides, which are used to manage weeds in fields . Nanoparticles are being used in agriculture for crop improvement in various crops in various crops. नैनोटेक्नोलॉजी: कृषि फसलों में फसल सुधार का एक आधुनिक दृष्टिकोण More than two thirds of the Indian population depends on agriculture for their livelihood, which has probably an impact on the Indian economy. But the Indian agricultural system was not as robust as it is now, either before or after independence.   Green Revolution, which employed some contemporary farming techniques, was the main success story of Indian agriculture. Before the Green Revolution, the country frequently experienced hunger and severe food shortages, and now we find ourselves confronted with the issue of overabundance. Since the atmosphere in India varies throughout the year, a wide variety of crops are grown there, with rice and wheat serving as the country's two main food staples. Additionally, grains, pulses, tubers, sugarcane, oilseeds, cotton, tea, coffee, rubber, and jute are grown by Indian farmers. But it was noted that a variety of biological and abiotic stressors, water availability, and expanding world populations all pose threats to the presentations of...

पादप रोग विज्ञान में नैनो टेक्नोलॉजी की भूमिका Nanotechnology has valuable practices in management of plant disease in different ways; the most common is nanoparticle application on seeds and soil or leaves to protect the plants from pathogens or to control infection (Khan and Rizvi 2014). Crop cultivation is affected with number of different fungal, bacterial and viral diseases. Plant pathogenic fungi must be controlled due to increasing consumer demand in developed countries for premium quality and diverse food; while high quality cereals, fruits and vegetables are indicator of economic growth in developing countries. Commercial agriculture is heavily dependent on high inputs of chemical pesticides to protect crops against pathogens and pests. After the introduction of fungicides in 1940, the use of fungicides increased highly for controlling diseases. Due to hap hazardous use of chemicals against diseases posed danger to living system killing not only the target harmful microorganism but also beneficial living organisms. The resistance of pests and plant pathogens against pesticides and fungicides is rapidly becoming a serious problem. To preserve biodiversity, it is becoming necessary to strengthen our strategies and achieve disease management by alternate approaches such as nanotechnology (Patel et al., 2014). Nanotechnology deals with manufacturing, study and manipulation of matter at nano-scale (or atomic scale) in the size range of 1-100 nm which can be called...
