Abstract

Given that the agriculture sector is one of the social, economic elements and indicators of sustainable development in any country, investigating the impact of the introduction of new technologies and how to introduce the technologies into this sector is of particular importance. Since nanotechnology, as one of these new technologies, has a growing trend in the production and manufacture of all the equipment used in everyday life, as well as nanotechnology has special features related to hard-working conditions, design and durability characteristics of agricultural equipment and one of its areas of application can be in the field of producing and manufacturing agricultural equipment with special features in different fields, this paper examines the role of this technology in improving the production methods and, ultimately, the impact of this technology on improving the performance of agricultural equipment. Nanotechnology has not abandoned any scientific field, therefore, agricultural

INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is the ability to produce new materials, tools, and systems with controlling in molecular and atomic surfaces and the use of properties in which surfaces appear. It follows from this simple definition that nanotechnology is not a new discipline but a new approach in all disciplines. Nano derives from the Greek nanus, meaning "dwarf") Abedini, et al., 2013). Nanotechnology is the ability to produce, control, and use nanometric materials. The particle size in nanotechnology is very important, since on a nanometric scale, the material dimensions are very effective in its properties, and the physical, chemical, and biological properties of each atom and molecule are different with the properties of the mass of the material. This size varies in different materials, but nanometric materials are commonly referred to as materials that have at least one dimension less than 100nm (Journal of Kison). Nanotechnology, as the science of working with the smallest particle
