Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Agroecosystems
About this book
Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Agroecosystems presents the latest research on the role of nanotechnology in agriculture and agroecosystems, offering innovations and many potential benefits in terms of plant growth, food production, crop protection and ecosystem management. Sections introduce new perspectives on the use of nanotechnology in agroecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Subsequent chapters focus on specific areas of innovation, covering a wide range of applications, including plant disease and protection, food processing and packaging, soil quality, precision farming, and groundwater treatment.
This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across a range of disciplines, but it is also ideal for industrial scientists, engineers and R&D professionals with an interest in nanotechnology and sustainable technologies for agriculture and agro-industries.
- Offers new perspectives on nanotechnology and nanoscale materials for sustainable agriculture and agroecosystems
- Highlights state-of-the-art techniques, such as nanotechnology-mediated gene transfer in plants
- Addresses challenges relating to plant disease, crop production, processing, soil and ecosystem management
