The use of nanotechnology in agricultural sciences is known as "nano agriculture." This involves the development of processes and products that utilize nanotechnology principles to deliver precise inputs and increase productivity, while minimizing environmental harm. In India, where agricultural production systems are undergoing significant transformation towards precision agriculture, nano agriculture is a particularly relevant concept.
