Abstract
Climate change-induced biotic and abiotic stresses reduced the productivity of agricultural systems. This raised severe concerns about food security in the world. Researchers reported improved agricultural performance using nanotechnology under various stresses. Consequently, it is imperative to explore the potential of nanotechnology against different environmental stresses for a better understanding of researchers and scholars in the field of agriculture. Thus, the authors delve into diverse applications of nanotechnology, i.e., nano fertilizers, nano fungicides, nano herbicides, and nano pesticides, in strengthening the crop production system under different biotic and abiotic stresses globally. Further, the use of nanotechnology in agriculture reduced plant disease risk factors, improved food quality and water use efficiency, decreased environmental pollution, and promoted sustainability while ensuring food security challenges. Thus, the utilization of nanotechnology becomes indispensable for enhancing crop production with a sustainable crop protection system.
