3. The application of nanotechnology to agriculture is possible by setting up 1.A controlled environment agriculture. & 2.Implementing precision farming. They both act as a platform for implementing nanotechnology.

4. The CEA methodology is most widely used in USA,Japan&Europe. CEA is an efficient and advanced form of hydroponically- based agriculture. Nanotechnological devices used for CEA improve the ability to determine the best time of harvest,food security issues &other contamination factors.

5. Precision farming is used to precisely identify the nature and the root cause of the problems. This is done by the aid of computers,GPS&remote sensing devices. Factors such as soil conditions,plant development Seeding, fertilizers,chemical & water use are considered in precision farming.

7. Nanosensors linked to a GPS system can be distributed throughout the field. These sensors can monitor soil conditions & crop growth. Also these smart sensors along with precision farming can enhance productivity in agriculture by letting the farmers take better decisions.

8. Nanosensors utilize carbon nanotubes to trap small molecules thus sensing the presence of contaminant such as bacteria. These sensors can also be engineered to trigger a electrical or chemical signal in presence of a contaminant. Enzyme logic transducer Biochemical processing Command Drug Delivery

9. Before a farmer could identify the issues that hinder the growth of plants, nanosensors take remedial action on the issues. In the near future nanosensors will become a friend to all farmers & their landlords.

10. Agriculture is the backbone of most of the developing countries. In INDIA more than 60% of people rely on agriculture. Food shortage is also increasing rapidly. All these issues can be tackled if and only if nano world is brought into agri world.
