Full Description
Nanoscience and Nano-Formulations for Sustainable Vegetable Crop Production offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in nanotechnology to enhance yield, nutritional value, and delivery efficiency in vegetable crops, particularly those with shorter growth cycles.
Although nanoscience is already deeply embedded in global food production, especially in cereals and grains, its targeted application in olericulture holds significant potential for strengthening global food security. Effective implementation, however, demands a clear understanding of nanoparticles' behavior and interactions with plants, ensuring technological progress aligns with safety standards and consumer confidence. This book covers innovations in several key areas of vegetable farming, including nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nano-packaging materials, spanning the entire continuum - from seed priming to post-harvest management, while also addressing practical dimensions of scalability, farmer adoption, and system integration.
Designed for researchers, scientists, and advanced-level students, this resource will serve as a valuable reference for harmonizing productivity, resilience, and sustainability in modern vegetable production.
