Nanotechnology has potent technological implications for the agricultural industry, covering a wide range of primary and auxiliary activities. Certain metal/metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), it is important to first consider the purpose for which they will be used as well as the requirements for specific functional properties in plants. The optimal amount of NPs to use is the second most crucial factor. The utilization of nanometal particles and their interactions with plants was summarized. We conducted experiments in laboratory conditions and when growing crops in fields using additives of suspensions of different HEA metal particles. All of them confirmed an increase in yield in comparison with control crops, as well as with the known mineral additives used.
