Nanotechnology has emerged in agriculture through nano-enabled pesticides, aiming to enhance crop protection with minimal environmental impact. However, environmental scientists caution against overhyping nanomaterials' benefits, citing potential harm outweighing gains. While nano-carriers in pesticides may improve efficacy and reduce environmental release, they pose risks to non-target organisms and ecosystems. Concerns include genotoxicity and long-term effects on aquatic life. Regulatory scrutiny is urged as nano-enabled pesticides enter markets, ensuring a thorough assessment of environmental risks alongside potential benefits. Balancing innovation with precaution is crucial in navigating the agricultural sector's transition to nano-enabled solutions, preventing regrettable outcomes in farming's future. While the aim is to improve our understanding of these consequences, we urge regulators to evaluate whether nano-enabled pesticides should be brought to market.
