  • Nano precision agriculture integrating nanotechnology, smart sensors, and AI for sustainable and efficient farming
    Susmita Shukla, Shreedhanya Dattatray Patil, G. Pravin, Shiv Kant Shukla, Ravi Khetrapal
    Plant Nano Biology, 2026
    Modern agriculture faces the challenge of boosting crop yields while reducing environmental harm, input waste, and resource inefficiency. In this context, Nano Precision Agriculture (NPA) has arisen as an advanced farming method that combines nanotechnology, precise monitoring, and artificial intelligence to enable targeted, data-driven crop management. This review offers a detailed analysis of nano-enabled agricultural systems, focusing on how nanosensors, nano-fertilisers, nano-pesticides, nano-herbicides, wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things platforms, and AI-based decision-support tools work together. The paper explores the role of nanoscale technologies enhance the detection of soil nutrients, plant stress signals, pathogens, and environmental changes at high spatial and temporal resolution, supporting timely and localised interventions. It also discusses the role of machine learning and intelligent analytics transform real-time sensor data into practical recommendations for irrigation, nutrient application, pest control, and crop health management. Beyond technological advances, the review critically examines key challenges, including nanotoxicity concerns, regulatory gaps, economic feasibility, interoperability issues, and adoption hurdles, especially in resource-limited farming systems. Overall, the review emphasises that the true promise of nano-precision agriculture lies in its ability to develop an integrated sense-analyse-respond system for sustainable, resilient, and resource-efficient farming. • Nanocarriers release nutrients on-demand, enhancing uptake and reducing waste • IoT sensors feed AI analytics with cell-level data, boosting yield and cutting inputs • Nano-tech agricultural inputs cut ~40–90% and boost yields up to +22% • Smart nano-patches cut runoff 90% and boost yields 15% • Trade-offs include waste, cost, and uneven regulationss

    Decline in plant diversity can be ascribed to a multitude of variables encompassing human activities, climate change and exploitation of natural resources. The present study is aimed to develop robust in vitro regeneration protocol of unexplored indigenous Musa varieties (Musa acuminata var. hondakol, Musa paradisica var. sanikol, Musa paradisica var. kashkol, and Musa acuminata var. hazari) and to analyze their phylogenetic relationship. DNA barcoding using Internal Transcribed Spacer1 (ITS1) markers facilitated the molecular analysis and sequence alignment of these Musa species, which illustrated their genetic relationships. DNA sequences were submitted to the NCBI and received accession numbers. 15 days old suckers were initiated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of phytohormones, adjuvants etc. The highest number of shoots were obtained in 6th subculturing cycle thereafter each in vitro shoot of Musa acuminata var. hazari, Musa paradisica var. kashkol, Musa paradisica var. sanikol, and Musa acuminata var. hondakol were inoculated in 1/4th MS medium supplemented with 2 mgL-1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 1 mgL-1 BAP resulted in successful rooting of 43%, 45%, 60%, and 33% respectively. The above finding showed that development effective regeneration protocol of all four varieties which can be further exploited for large scale propagation of uniform and disease-free banana plantlets.

  • Preliminary Screening of Phytoconstituents of various extracts of Citrus macroptera and its Antimicrobial impact

    Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2024
    The prevalence of antibiotic resistance has necessitated the identification of effective drug candidates derived from natural sources and plants. Citrus macropterais an endangered species belonging to the family Rutaceae. The current study focuses on the preliminary screening of the extracts from various parts of C. macroptera and antimicrobial activity assessment against two bacterial strains (Pseudomonas geniculate and Lysinbacillus fusiformis) and two fungal strains (Fusarium oxysporum and Paecilomyceslilacinus). The phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides, terpenoids etc. were present in varying solvent extracts. The ethanolic and methanolic leaf extracts of C.macroptera showed maximum inhibition against Lysinibacillus fusiformis with inhibition percentages (68.75% and 43.75%) respectively and no inhibition was recorded in C. macroptera aqueous leaf extract.The antifungal activity of the C. macroptera extracts was found maximum in the ex vitro methanolic leaf extract followed by albedo methanolic extract and in vitro ethanolic leaf extract whereas the least activity was recorded in the aqueous leaf extract. The extracts could not develop effective inhibition against Pseudomonas geniculate and Paecilomyces lilacinus. It can be concluded that extracts from C.macroptera have antimicrobial effects against some pathogens implying that they may have prospective applications in the pharmaceutical industry.
