as it is also essential at preliminary stages of development
for accomplishing the accurate balance between the
cost-effectiveness as well as the environmental impacts.
Besides this, the analysis of life cycle of product is expected
to provide important insights regarding this issue. The
standard methods, which are existing for the risk assessments may perhaps be insufficient for recognizing meticulous vulnerability related to NMs and tools for nano-specific
risk assessments, have to be produced. Suitable recycling
and strategies used for recovery in the sustainability frame
also have to limit the NMs dispersal in the surrounding
environments. Procedures should also be accepted for minimizing the environmental and health risks because of the
NMs release at every stage of life cycle of products from its
production phase, while its application, and towards the final
dumping or recycling. If the trustworthy data as well as
ethics do not appear, nevertheless, the most awful circumstances have to be supposed for nanotechnology risk management in the sustainable agriculture and development
frame.
6 Concluding Remark
Currently, nanotechnology is expanding in each and every
field; there is not a single area that is untouched with the
nanotechnology and its pioneering modernizations in scientific manner involving the field of agriculture. The interaction of NPs with the soil microbial community played a
vital role in agriculture; hence, the nanotechnology application in the agriculture field has been touched numerous
fields involving plant protection, plant nano-nutrition, food
industry, nano-fertilizers and nano-pesticides, plant productivity, etc. With reference to the ENPs effect on agroecosystem, the providence and performance of the ENPs and
the probable toxic inferences to the agricultural crops and the
plants, as well as naturally present microbes in the rhizosphere of soil and nano-waste generation in the agricultural
ecosystem, etc., are of the major burning concerns. In
addition, ENPs negative effects produced via free radicals
lead to the DNA damage and lipid peroxidation affect the
microflora of soil including bacteria and fungi, soil enzymatic activities, plant productivity and the entire environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to forecast the ENPs
effects on the environment to make their application a
predictable opportunity in the direction of sustainable
agriculture.
