Nanotechnology is one of the most important technologies of recent years. To fulfill the demands of a growing global population, vegetable crop production and productivity must be increased while utilizing limited resources. Nanotechnology enhances precision farming by reducing inputs like fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides while increasing crop output. Nano encapsulation prevents dangerous compounds from seeping and evaporating, lowering pollution and environmental harm. Nanotechnology has numerous applications in vegetable production, including crop growth, plant protection, genetic modification, and post-harvest. Using nanotechnology can help increase vegetable output sustainably. In this review, we have discussed about the detailed concepts of nanoencapsulation and its process in vegetable crops
