Full Description
Global agricultural production faces various environmental stresses that affect crop growth and development. The response of plants to abiotic stresses and climate change depends on factors such as the type of crop, the type of stress, and the frequency and duration of exposure. Sustainable agriculture and crop production practices can help improve soil quality, water management, and other resources essential for plant growth. To meet the growing demand for food security and safety, scientific communities are working towards reducing the harmful effects of environmental stresses on crops, improving crop production, and ensuring food sustainability and security.
Nanoscience is a fascinating and rapidly developing area of research that has led to major innovations. Nano-technology based formulations provide significant solutions to agro-ecosystems-related problems and achieve a sustainable and safe future for agriculture. Nanobiotechnology has attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to its large number of applications in different aspects. In sustainable agriculture, nanobiotechnology is mainly utilized in nano-fertilizers and nano pesticides to amplify the quality of output and level of nutrients for promoting growth, development, and productivity/ quality of grains/ fruits and enhancing plant stress resistance efficiency to unfavorable environmental conditions.
Nanoformulatedmaterials offer the possibility to produce more effective and less damaging agrochemicals in the eco-environment. Smart delivery systems for nanosensors, molecules that may assist in finding environmental stressors before they can affect crop productivity/ quality, are being developed and applied. It provides advanced applications for the transformation of genetics. The application of nanoformulated particles in agriculture is being used to increase the value of foods, decrease agricultural inputs, upgrade nutrients delivery systems, and develop a longer shelf life for different products. It is important to discover the role of nanomaterials in mutation breeding, seedling growth and development, as well as their interaction with metabolites. This presents both opportunities and challenges that needs to be explored at the earliest.
This book highlights the advanced strategies of these nanoformulated forms in the field of plant biology. The chapters will be contributed by an international group of experts from across this broad area. This excellent book content will surely be beneficial for graduate-postgraduate students, researchers, and policy-makers associated with the application of nanoscience in sustainable agriculture.
