Smart Technologies in Sustainable Agriculture: Current and Future Prospects
Editat de Pradeep Kumar, Abhishek Singh, Vishnu D. Rajput, Tatiana Minkina, Anil Kumar Singhen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mar 2025
The chapters explore the use of geoinformatics, nanotechnology, microbiology, and biotechnology. The book details how using these cutting-edge tools can increase plant productivity, enhance soil fertility, provide real-time crop soil mapping while also analyzing the health applications of herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, and more. Additionally, the delivery of genetic materials for the improvement of plants, the role of nanoparticles and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) in changes in gene and protein expression, and more are discussed. The book also looks at how using nanotechnology can enhance plant nutrition and protection and addresses issues relating to the use of nanoparticles and their compliances.
Other topics include using oilseeds as a sustainable source of biodiesel and bioenergy, mitigating heavy metal uptake by plants through bioremediation, space-industry-inspired speed breeding (using enhanced LED lighting and day-long regimes to enhance photosynthesis and promote rapid growth of crops), phytonanotechnology applications, and other next-generation breeding approaches for development of abiotic stress resilience crops.
Key highlights:
- Highlights the implications of geoinformatics, nanotechnology, and advanced microbial technology and applications in plant and agriculture sciences
- Presents innovative eco-friendly approaches for the improvement of crop productivity and soil fertility
- Discusses the advanced technology of GIS, sensors, etc.
- Gives insight into the role of nanotechnology in plant protection and plant nutrition and related concerns
