Nanotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture: An Innovative and Eco-Friendly Approach

Editat de Vishnu D. Rajput, Abhishek Singh, Tatiana M Minkina, Krishan K. Verma, Awani Kumar Singh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 sep 2023
This new volume explores the important and cutting-edge roles that nanotechnology can play in facilitating sustainable agriculture. It provides recent updates on nanobiotechnology in soil science, plant breeding, food science, agricultural tool design and utilization, as well as the impacts of such approaches on properties of soils and plants. The book looks at the use of nanotechnology for crop production and protection, in the creation and application of pesticides, to enhance soil fertility and soil health, as a mitigating factor of plant abiotic stress, and more. The volume explores emerging nanotechnological tools and techniques for crop improvement that include space-inspired speed breeding for crop improvement, nanoparticles as sensing materials, plant nanobionics, nanopore DNA sequencing, and more.
