Highlights • Precision farming is measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops to form a decision support system.• About 40–70% of N, 80–90% of P and 50–70% of K of the applied fertilizers is lost to the environment causing pollution.• Nanofertilizers helps in slow and sustained release of agrochemicals resulting in precise dosage to the plants.• Green synthesized Ag, ZnO and TiO2 NPs are extensively used for plant protection and treatment of diseases.• Biosensors helps in detecting pesticides in the vegetable crops and form a decision support system for crop commodities.
