*Organic Agriculture*

organic farming system found to be very effective for its sustainable, environment friendly and long term approach. Researchers are trying to develop micro and macro nutrient enriched plant growth nano promoter. This type of nano-complex not only gives protection against various destructive diseases but also enhancing the plant growth with its slow leaching compatibility mode. Application of different metallic ions and carbon-nanomer under genetic delivery system is the modern topic of research. Introduction of modern tolls like quantum dots and biosensor (with combination of nanotechnology) in plant pathology can greatly replace

The use of nanobased pesticide, herbicide and fungicide, is an attractive advancement in plant health management keeping in focus of the healthy environment. It has the ability to deliver the pesticide to the specified target with low evaporation loss, improve the solubility, overcome resistance of pesticide in insects and pests, and have better shelf-life. Due to lacking of long-term based in vivo experimental trial, observation or monitoring, more research should be carried out on the particular field. To brand this method as a successful one, material scientists and biologists should cooperate with each other to gain more deep knowledge on complex nanosystems. The reliable, efficient nanoparticles should be chosen that can be biocompatible and no harmful to the plant system. Before releasing, any nanoparticles-based products in to the market, their toxicity, impact on environment, and other risk assessment factors should be analyzed properly. This method is yet to reach to the farmers mostly in developing countries. Therefore, government should work on this to create awareness among the farmers. The journey of nanotechnology in plant disease management and different other sectors of agriculture is under progressive research and wide adaptation through farmers level. The multidisciplinary nanotechnological approaches needs support from government and government-induced schemes or policies and also support from funding agencies, which will lead to a sustainable agriculture system by lessening the global food
