Abstract

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that combines materials science and engineering fundamentals, altogether synthesizing materials at the nanoscale to solve various current problems. Agrochemicals are often used in modern intensive agriculture to protect crops from biotic stress, provide vital nutrients, and boost millet growth and yield. Although they are beneficial in the short term, their long-term and persistent applications damage soil fertility and negatively affect the rhizospheric microbiome. Nanotechnology in the form of nano-based agro-formulations is an innovative, environmentally acceptable, and practical solution for substitute synthetic fertilizers. Nanotechnological formulations and nanoparticles in the form of nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, nanogels, nanofertilizer, and nanofungicides are reported to have efficacy in continuous release of nutrients regulated distribution to plant nutrients very effectively. These nanoformulations helps in fighting phytopathological diseases, promotes plant, and microbiome productivity. In addition, they are effective in alleviating biotic and abiotic stress in crop plants. However, despite their extraordinary effectiveness, they also have several drawbacks, such as a tedious manufacturing process, shaky delivery, and dosage-sensitive effectiveness. Learning and acknowledging the influence of nano-based agrochemicals on highly nutritious crops such as millets is important for further commercialization and wide utilization in agriculture. Hence, this chapter focuses on the usage of nanoformulations on millet crops, their effects on soil rhizospheric communities, and soil fertility.
