Abstract
In recent past, nanoparticles (NPs) have fetched significant attention as possible applications in the agro-environment, especially in soils. Application of NPs to effectively lessen the toxic heavy metals (HMs) contents in agrosystem are showing encouraging outputs. Arsenic contamination and its subsequent impact on crop productivity as well as on human health is undoubtedly a global challenge. Numerous studies have described that the use of NPs in HMs-contaminated soils, which minimize phyto-availablity of toxic HMs concentration soils. Though, the efficiency of NPs to control the HMs content in long run is still under consideration. Here, we try to summarize the details about the current scenario of NPs to regulate activity of toxic HMs to agro-environmental systems. In conclusion, we present the mode of action and possible route of HMs-toxicity mitigation in crop plants by the applications of NPs and assessment on the future prospects also.
