Nanotechnology-based Sustainable Agriculture (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Provides detailed guidance on harnessing nanotechnology for sustainable agriculture, combines theoretical frameworks with actionable strategies

Nanotechnology-based Sustainable Agriculture offers an in-depth exploration of how nanotechnology is revolutionizing agricultural practices to enhance crop productivity and environmental sustainability. Addressing key challenges in conventional agriculture, this volume presents the cutting-edge roles of various nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and quantum dots, in boosting efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Emphasizing practical solutions, ranging from nano biofertilizers and nanobioremediation to innovative pest control strategies, an expert panel of authors provides a roadmap for integrating nanotechnology into sustainable agricultural systems. In-depth chapters describe both the fabrication of nanomaterials and their application in soil quality assessment, pollutant remediation, and crop disease management. Throughout the text, the authors highlight opportunities and address challenges to ensure the safe and effective adoption of these technologies.

Enhancing crop productivity and environmental health through innovative solutions, Nanotechnology-based Sustainable Agriculture:

• Explores a wide range of nanotechnologies for use in agriculture, including plant-based nanomaterials, chitosan nanoparticles, and silver nanoparticles
• Presents strategies for minimizing environmental and health impacts while maximizing crop productivity
• Incorporates the latest developments in nanobiotechnology, phytonanotechnology, and nano-bioremediation
• Discusses the challenges and potential risks of nanomaterial-based chemicals in agricultural systems
• Examines diverse case studies and strategies to achieve food security and sustainable agriculture on a global scale

Nanotechnology-based Sustainable Agriculture is essential reading for advanced students, researchers, and professionals in environmental science, material science, and agriculture. It is well-suited as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate courses in sustainable agriculture or nanotechnology, as well as a reference for professionals in research and development, policymaking, and industry.
