In modern agriculture, sustainable production and efficiency are unimaginable without the use of agrochemicals such as pesticides, fertilisers, herbicides, etc. Nanotechnology has the potential to augment food quality, plant protection, detection of plant and animal diseases, monitoring of plant growth, global food production, and seed quality. The potential for a wide range of applications makes a basic understanding of nanotechnology important. This article presents an introduction to nanotechnology and discusses the implications of it for the tomato crop. The review aims to systematise and discuss research data related to the effect of nanomaterials on tomato, an important fruit crop used as a model plant for research which provides knowledge about this fast-developing research area.
