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.
