Role of Carbon Nanotubes in Agriculture

Author : Pragya

ABSTRACT

Nanomaterials are currently under development in the agricultural industry to contribute to sustainable crop production. As one of the most important carbon-based nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide enhanced applications in agriculture due to their physiochemical properties including high surface area (because of small size), and remarkable mechanical as well as thermal strength. They are significant cylindrical nanostructures, and the carbon network of the shells strongly resemble to the honeycomb pattern of carbon atoms in graphite sheets due to its design. This article delves into the specifics of carbon nanotubes in agriculture, looking at their potential to boost agricultural output, soil wellness, and sustainability for the environment.

Keywords: Crop production, Carbon nanotubes, Sustainable agriculture
