Description Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science widely exploited in electronics, energy, environment and health sectors. Indeed, nanotechnology applications in agriculture is rarely studied in India and abroad. But many research organizations and universities have begun to invest in order to gain solutions to unresolved field poblems. The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, is one of the early birds in such endeavours to initiate research in the fascinating field of science. The reported literatures across the globe suggest potentials of nanotechnology applications in biological sciences including agriculture. In this review, applications of nanotechnology in agricultural sciences such as nanoagricultural inputs, nano-food systems, nano-biotechnology and nano-remediation have been summarized.
