Abstract
Excessive usage of pesticides in agriculture has developed environmental and human health issues and they pose a threat on the non-targeted organisms. Despite the fact that natural source biopesticides are not, an environmentally clean-pest control is provided are usually constant and lead to increased application rates. Nanotechnology improves the transport, stability and controlled flow of nano-formulated pesticides. Green nano-bioformulations of plants or microorganism have the potential to become a developing area where crop protection could be made more sustainable by considering released controllable, higher rain fastness and low consumption of chemical resources which pose a challenge to green farming. A couple of questions arise, its limited availability, possible dangers connected to its use with safety and regulation. The combination of nanotechnology with biopesticides is revolutionizing and transforming the precision agriculture which makes the food to be secure and less environmental foot print.
