Nanopesticide: Future Application of Nanomaterials in Plant Protection
Nanopesticide: Future Application of Nanomaterials in Plant Protection
Crop
Pests and diseases, and post harvest pests have significant impact on
agricultural yield loss and farmers’
incomes. Farmers mostly use
synthetic pesticides to manage pests to maximize crop yields; posing potensial
risks for workers, consumers and the environments. Nanopesticides based on metal and essential
oils, agrochemical control release formulation hold promise as less toxic
pesticide and excellent
alternative to convensional pesticide in plant pest and disease control. Nanoparticles and nanoemulsions of metals,
nanoemulsion of essential oils, and matrixs of delivery agents/ carrier in nano
pesticide formulations; have been synthesized and their effectiveness assessed
against plant pest insect and disease pathogen; and other aspects in plant
protection. This review discuss the main
research of nanomaterials that have been
applied and highlights nanoformulation
technologies to be considered for their continuing development of
nanopesticides from point of view of plant
protection.
The chapter has been published in the book 'Plant Nanobionics: Volume 2, Approaches in Nanoparticles, Biosynthesis and Toxicity" edited by Dr. Ram Prasad and published by Springer Nature.
Single-Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry for Characterization of Engineered Nanoparticles
Single-Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass
Spectrometry for Characterization of Engineered Nanoparticles
With
the rapid development of nanotechnology, consumer products containing metallic
engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are commonly available in the market. These
particles subsequently are released into the environment, and uptake of these
materials by human is very likely. Methods for detecting, quantifying, and
characterizing these materials in complex matrices are critical for the
eventual understanding of their implications to human health and environment.
To assess their effect on the body, reliable and fast detection of these
nanoparticles in very low amount becomes increasingly important.
Single-particle ICP-MS has emerged (spICP-MS) as a useful tool for
characterization of metal-containing nanoparticles. This technique is reliable
and fast for counting and sizing particles at lowest concentrations while
simultaneously distinguishing between dissolved and particulate analytes.
The chapter describing about this technique has been published
in the book “Microbial Nanobionics” volume 2 Basic Research and Applications
edited by Dr. Ram Prasad.

Nanotechnology: An Agricultural Paradigm
Nanotechnology: An Agricultural Paradigm
This book highlights the implications of nanotechnology and the
effects of nanoparticles on agricultural systems, their interactions with
plants as well as their potential applications as fertilizers and pesticides.
It also discusses how innovative, eco-friendly approaches to improve food and
agricultural systems lead to increased plant productivity. Further, it offers
insights into the current trends and future prospects of nanotechnology along
with the benefits and risks and their impact on agricultural ecosystems. Nanomaterials in agriculture reduce the amount of chemical
products sprayed by means of smart delivery of active ingredients; minimize
nutrient losses in fertilization; and increase yields through optimized water
and nutrient management. There is also huge potential for nanotechnology in the
provision of state-of-the-art solutions for various challenges faced by
agriculture and society, both today and in the future.

Genetic improvements of traits for enhancing NPK acquisition and utilization efficiency in plants
Chapter title: Genetic Improvements of traits for enhancing NPK Acquisition and Utilization Efficiency in Plants
Chapter number: 10
Book title:
Plant Macronutrient Use
Efficiency: Molecular and Genomic Perspectives in Crop Plants
This book presents
the latest understanding of molecular and genetic bases of macro-nutrient use
efficiency to develop strategies for improvement of overall nutrient use
efficiency and nutrient stress tolerance. Plant Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE),
represents a question of process optimization in response to the increasing
fragility of the natural resource base and threats to food grain security
across the globe. This
book is the first to present information key to the further improvement of
macro NUE, a prerequisite to reducing production costs, expanding crop acreage
into non-competitive marginal lands with low nutrient resources, and preventing
environmental contamination. Plant Macro-Nutrient Use Efficiency improves
understanding of the complex mechanisms regulating macro NUE for developing
modern varieties that are more resilient to nutrient stresses.
Identification of the potential novel genes responsible for NUE and
nutrient stress tolerance in crop plants will contribute to understanding the
molecular mechanisms of crop responses to nutrient stresses. This edited volume
is an excellent, all-inclusive reference source of knowledge with both
foundational and translational insights and is useful for those in all fields
of plant science research.
