The global population is growing rapidly, which poses a significant challenge to food security. Innovation in agricultural technologies is necessary to achieve sustainable development in agriculture and combat food insecurity. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising tool in agriculture; compared to conventional agricultural chemicals, demonstrated benefits include increased efficiency of delivery and utilization of both nutrients and pesticides, as well as nanoscale-specific stimulation of stress tolerance pathways.

- Molybdenum disulfide (nano-MoS) nanomaterials show promise for agriculture but require further study on their behavior in soil-plant systems.
- The research explores how different forms of nano-MoS interact with soil and soybean plants, revealing that nanoparticles transform and release beneficial molybdenum and sulfur while some remain intact to enhance enzyme functions.
- While nano-MoS can improve crop yield by 30% compared to traditional fertilizers, excessive transformation of MoS nanosheets can lead to harmful overaccumulation of elements in plants.
