Numerous challenges in agriculture might perhaps be solved through nanotechnology. Applications based on nanotechnology have been used in the agriculture sector for several years. In addition to addressing reduced environmental harm and crop loss, it is highly beneficial in improving crops in many ways. Although tuber crops are currently underused, there are relatively few nanotechnologies used in this field. As a result, this study highlights the applications of nanotechnology in agriculture, as well as its significance for improving tuber crop yields.
