Full Description
Comprehensive resource presenting benefits, opportunities, and challenges in the application of nanotechnology in farming
Nanotechnology and Microbiology for Sustainable Agriculture provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse roles of nanotechnology and microbiology for sustainable agriculture, highlighting the potential synergistic applications of these two rapidly advancing scientific domains to address pressing challenges in the field. This book shows how these technologies can offer novel solutions for soil health management, enhanced nutrient delivery, pest control, stress tolerance, and crop productivity.
The chapters in this book are organized into several thematic sections. Topics explored include the synergistic effects of phosphorus-solubilizing microbes and nanoformulations to improve plant growth and soil fertility, the role of fungi in the production of bioactive compounds and nanomaterial development, the integration of plant and soil microbiomes with nano-interventions to support food safety, nutrient cycling, and agroecosystem resilience, the biosynthetic capabilities of actinomycetes in producing antimicrobial and growth-promoting nanomaterials, and the role of nanotechnology in enhancing GMO functionality, safety assessment, and public perception in food systems.
Contributed to by international experts in their respective fields, Nanotechnology and Microbiology for Sustainable Agriculture includes information on:
Nano-biotechnological solutions for remediating pesticides, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals from soils and water bodies
Green-synthesized nanomaterials from biological sources with potential for managing plant pathogens in a sustainable manner
Advanced nanostructures for immobilizing beneficial microbes and enzymes to enhance their agricultural efficiency and stability
The formulation, mode of action, and environmental benefits of nanopesticides compared to conventional chemical pesticides
Nanobiosensor technologies for real-time monitoring of soil quality, pathogens, pollutants, and nutrient levels
Nanotechnology and Microbiology for Sustainable Agriculture is an essential up-to-date resource for researchers, scientists, students, industry professionals, and government agencies interested in microbial biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, agriculture, pest control, and nano-fertilizer manufacturing.
