The article discusses the potential of nano/micro-structural supramolecular biopolymers in sustainable agriculture. These biopolymers, which are derived from renewable resources and are biodegradable, offer unique advantages such as improved soil structure, enhanced water retention, and controlled release of bioactive compounds. They can be used to encapsulate and deliver agrochemicals, bioactive agents, and biostimulators, thereby improving nutrient absorption, moisture retention, and root growth. Additionally, these biopolymers can protect crops by incorporating antimicrobials and serve as biosensors for crop protection. The article highlights the need for further research to optimize their usage in agricultural practices, emphasizing their role in developing innovative and eco-friendly solutions to enhance agricultural productivity while minimizing environmental impact. The overview covers the structural characteristics, applications, and challenges of supramolecular biopolymers, providing valuable insights into their practical implementation and future prospects in sustainable agriculture.The article discusses the potential of nano/micro-structural supramolecular biopolymers in sustainable agriculture.
