With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the production of metal nanoparticles, which subsequently enter agricultural lands in various ways, is also increasing. This article presents a review, mostly of foreign literature, to systematize knowledge about degradation pathways, mechanisms of nanoparticle penetration into the cell, their subsequent transport through tissues and interaction of metal nanoparticles with the environment in agrobiocenoses. Therefore, the main issue today is the possibility of destruction of nanotechnology products due to edaphic factors and products of metabolism of plants and microorganisms to avoid their accumulation in agrophytocenoses.
Physicochemical properties of metal nanoparticles (eg size, charge, shape, coating) and soil properties (eg pH, mineral composition, presence of organic acids, etc.) play an important role in elucidating the decay, transport, mobility and interaction of nanoparticles with soil components. . The main role in the formation of most morphological features of metal nanoparticles, which are the basis of nanoparticles, is played by the method of nanoparticle synthesis. In this way, potential risks of using metal nanomaterials can be anticipated and avoided.
Therefore, the main purpose of this review is to evaluate the possibilities of metal nanoparticles for degradation, describe the preconditions for biodegradation and  note the main possibilities of using such properties in the agro-industrial complex.
