Emerging technologies to enrich agricultural and horticultural crop quality and production

In modern era, horticulture sector has made considerable progress in countries with in te grated efforts of farmers and researchers and use of modern technologies. In these new technologies, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and protected cultivation play aninter disciplinary part of science that produces enormous crop improvement. A number of biochemical companies fo cusing on synthesizing pesticides at nano scale to enhance their efficacy. The horticultural production mostly affected due to disease in festation at early age of crop. Utilization of wild species and integration of gens from wild species is seems to the only way to improve cultivated species. Now days, many companies and researcher are trying to prepare nanoparticles to genetically engineer plants to enhance disease resistance for development of eco-friendly environment. Nanoparticles based biosensers also playing a vital function in early patho gendetection. Apart to it, delivery of DNA insert for alteration in plant expression profiles is also a promising area of genetic engineering and nanotechnology. Vegetable production under the protected structure covered by trans parent films or synthetic material is also emerging as a use ful technique for horticultural crops cultivation. Application of these new technologies may solve these emerging problems and modernization incultivation of horticultural crops. The wide spread examples in clude silver and TiO₂ nanoparticles which are known to their antimicrobial effect. Combing protected farming with elegant delivery systems and biosensors will definitely assist in economic transformation of horticulture industry.
