Nanobiosensor

In essence, Nanobiosensors or Nanosensors are Nanotechnology-based sensors that detect physical quantities and generate signals to detect and then evaluate those quantities. The basic idea is to attach bioanalytes of interest to bioreceptors, which then modify the physical and chemical signal associated with the binding.

Nanobiosensors can detect a wide range of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, pathogens, moisture, and soil pH, among many other factors. When used properly and in a regulated manner, nanobiosensors can help to promote sustainable agriculture and increase crop output.
