Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Agroecosystems

"Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Agroecosystems presents the latest research on the role of nanotechnology in agriculture and agroecosystems, investigating innovations and their many potential benefits, in terms of plant growth, food production, crop protection, and ecosystem management. The book begins by introducing new perspectives for use of nanotechnology in agroecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Subsequent chapters focus on specific areas of innovation, covering a wide range of applications of nanotechnology, including plant disease and protection, soil quality, precision farming, influence of nanomaterials on aquatic life, nanobiosensors in sustainable agriculture, etc. This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across a range of disciplines, and industrial scientists, engineers, and readers in the agriculture sector with an interest in nanotechnology and sustainable technologies for agriculture and agro-industries."--Cover page 4.
