Summary

A vital component of any country's economic growth is agricultural development. Food scarcity is one of the major concerns, owing to the negative consequences of environmental factors. By minimizing the adverse environmental impacts, enhancing food security and productivity, and fostering social and commercial equity, nanotechnology has the possibility to have a beneficial influence on the agrifood industries. This will increase input efficiency and decrease relevant losses. Through physical and chemical processes, the development of nanoparticles (NPs) has a detrimental effect on the ecosystem. Thus, in the past few decades, nanotechnology investigations have shifted toward green synthesis to support the growing use of NPs. Green synthesis using various microorganisms offers a more reliab
