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.
