Magnetic nanomaterials (MNMs) have emerged as innovative tools in plant science, offering both opportunities and challenges. The chapter provides a concise overview of MNMs, detailing their distribution, physicochemical properties, and also the synthesis methods tailored for plant systems. It explores the mechanisms of MNM-plant interactions including their uptake keeping in view their translocation, and effects on cellular components along with metabolic pathways. The benefits of MNMs, including enhanced nutrient uptake, improved stress resilience, increased growth, and photosynthetic efficiency, are highlighted. Conversely, potential adverse effects, including cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, cellular disruption, and impacts on soil microbiomes, are critically examined. Environmental considerations, such as MNM fate in soil-plant systems, bioaccumulation risks, and ecotoxicity, are addressed, alongside the need for robust regulatory frameworks. Future research directions focus on advancing MNM design for sustainability, mitigating negative impacts, and integrating MNMs into precision agriculture. While MNMs hold promise for enhancing plant productivity and stress resilience, a balanced idea of their dual effects is essential for responsible application. This chapter underscores the importance of harmonizing the benefits and risks of MNMs to make sure they are safe and sustainable for agricultural utilization.
