Abstract

Nanoparticles are a solid colloidal particle which ranges in  size from 10 to 1000nm. The nanoparticles differs from its  own bulk form in its physical properties and more over toxic  than its bulk form. Due to these properties, nanoparticles can be used for a wide range of applications in various fields of  science. Nanoparticles may be produced naturally,  incidentally or can be engineered. These have profound  multifaceted agricultural applications such as bioimaging,  biosensors, nano-heribicides, nano-pesticides, nano fertilizers, etc. This study is focused on to review the  properties, types, synthesis and multifaceted potential of  different nanoparticles in agriculture fields for effective  management, improved productivity and sustainable  development.
