Rapid population growth and increased use of agricultural technology have exacerbated agrarian problems. While mechanization has improved production, the heavy machinery for planting, irrigation, harvesting resulted in soil compaction. Soil compaction reduces pore space increases bulk density, which hinders plant growth. Globally, automated agriculture reduced crop production by more than 50%. In developing countries, grazing animals fields root penetration, nutrient absorption, water infiltration, increasing risk erosion runoff. The study investigates novel ways to reduce compaction, namely utilization nanoparticles (NPs) nanotechnology (NT). NPs unique qualities that can improve mechanical properties soil, increase its strength, minimize Some such as Carbon nanotubes, nanolites, nanosilica, nanoclay been demonstrated fertility, retention, structural stability. environmental pollutants while improving quality.
