different crops to achieve better results in terms of increase in yield. Research studies
regarding application of nanotechnology in biofortification of plant nutrients need to
be carried out at a larger scale. Wider utilization of nanomaterials in agriculture
sector can be ensured provided that their impact on soil, microorganism is assessed
and fate of nanomaterials in the agroenvironment has been studied.
