The increase in food demand due to population growth necessitates the more efficient use of water and soil resources; however, unconscious use of chemical inputs, excessive irrigation, and environmental pollution has adversely affected growing conditions, health, and eventually crop yield. Unlike conventional delivery, thanks to the controlled release mechanism, nanobased systems hold promise for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and alleviating their side effect profiles. Nanotechnology has not only come to the fore in the field of biomedicine but also in agriculture, especially in the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of plant diseases, reducing stress levels in plants, reducing the use of chemicals, managing water and nutrients, struggling with pests and insects, and so on. However, nanomaterials to be used in therapeutic systems are expected to be stable, causing relatively low toxic effects, easy to synthesize, cost-effective, biocompatible, and tunable functionality with therapeutic molecules. Metallic nanoparticles stand out in targeting and controlled release applications due to their colloidal stability and tunable characteristics of size, shape, and surface functionality. This section introduces classifications of nanomaterials, metallic nanoparticles and their synthesis routes, and characterization techniques. In addition, it puts a particular emphasis on the contributions of metallic nanoparticles to plant growth and development, crop yield, the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of herbal diseases, as well as their protective roles under harsh conditions, and future demands and challenges.
