Nanotechnology for Agriculture
A Potential Tool for Abiotic Stress Tolerance
About this book
This new book throws light on the use of nanoparticles as nanofertifilizers and details their prospective applications in agricultural science, including their use in minimizing the consequences of climate change, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, and achieving abiotic stress management. With chapters contributed by expert researchers from around the world, this book summarizes the importance of nanotechnology in abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants, presenting the latest research on the application of nanotechnology in agriculture crop production, its various applications in crop growth enhancement under different abiotic stress conditions, and the uses of various nanoparticles in agriculture for better yield and productivity.
The book covers some of the latest trends and prospects of nanotechnology in promoting sustainable agriculture through nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanoencapsulation, nanosensors, nanobarcodes, and intelligent distribution systems. It also details important topics such as nanopriming as seed priming technology for sustainable agriculture, the role of Si and nano-silicon (SiNP) in ameliorating biotic and abiotic stresses, and more. The use of nanotechnology in specific plants is also discussed, such as, for example, in cotton, forage crops, medicinal crops, etc.
