SYNOPSIS
 Introduction
 Background about nanotechnology
 Application of nanotechnology in agriculture and allied fields
 Application of nanotechnology in plant pathology
 Conclusion
Nanotechnology
British Standards Institution (BSI,2005)
“Nanotechnology is science ,engineering and technology
conducted at the nanoscale,which is about 1 to 100 nm ”
Broad idea of nano :
•Reduce the size
•Increase the efficiacy
Nano scale
 The term ‘nanotechnology’ is based on the prefix
‘nano’- Greek word meaning dwarf
 Word ‘ nano means 10-9 or one billionth part of a
meter
 1 nanometer = one billionth (10-9) of meter
 Size range between 1 and 100 nm
(Hussain, 2017)
Nanopaticles (NPs)
Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100
nanometres (nm) in size with a surrounding interfacial
layer.
