    Nanotechnology offers transformative potential in agriculture and horticulture, revolutionizing crop production, plant health, and resource management. Its dynamic influence is particularly evident in enhancing vegetable yields through targeted nutrient delivery. Nanofertilizers, which utilize nanoparticles with higher surface tension than conventional fertilizers, provide plants with slow-release, efficient nutrient availability. This improves nutrient uptake, reduces waste, and promotes more sustainable farming practices. Nanofertilizers are specifically designed to optimize plant growth, fertility, and pollination in flowers, resulting in higher yields and improved quality in horticultural crops. By enhancing the availability and use efficiency of nutrients, nano fertilizers reduce nutrient fixation and enhance overall productivity. This review focuses on the significance of nanotechnology development, nanomaterials, and nano fertilizers, highlighting their potential to improve productivity and quality in horticultural crops. It also explores how nanoparticles can enhance plant resilience, particularly in response to environmental changes, supporting food security for the growing global population. By providing targeted, efficient solutions, nanotechnology offers promising strategies for ensuring the long-term sustainability and health of horticultural production systems. The application of nanofertilizers in enhancing both crop quality and environmental sustainability positions nanotechnology as a key innovation for the future of agriculture.
