Role of Nanomaterials in Sustainable Agriculture

Nanomaterials have rapidly emerged as a revolutionary tool across diverse fields including modern agriculture. The properties of nanomaterials, such as size in nanometres, high surface area-to-volume ratio, offering innovative solutions to enables nutrient uptake and targeted and efficient release to tissues to aid in enhancing nutrient assimilation and metabolism. These formulations enhance crop productivity, resilience to climatic change, disease management, and stress tolerance. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date elucidation of nanomaterials in sustainable agricultural with a strong emphasis on green synthesis approaches and their applications. The distinguishing feature of this book lies in its integrative action, plant-nanomaterial interactions, uptake and translocation, and plant responses at cellular, physiological, and biochemical levels. By combining mechanistic insights with applied perspectives, the book bridges fundamental research and field-level applications, offering a holistic understanding of advancements in the delivery system of nano-fertilizers and the significance of nanomaterials in plant growth, development, and stress tolerance.

Key Features:

Current status of nanomaterials in agricultural system Green synthesis routes and strategies for characterization of nanomaterials Uptake, translocation, and interaction with plant tissues Impact of nanomaterials on plant growth, development, and physiology Significance of nanomaterials in mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses Recent advances and application in nano-enabled delivery systems Phytotoxicity, biosafety, and risk assessment of agricultural nanomaterials

This book is anticipated for postgraduate students, academicians, researchers, and professionals in field of agriculture, plant sciences, plant stress management, and environmental biotechnology. It will also serve as a valuable reference for industry partners seeking sustainable and safe nanotechnology-based agricultural solutions.
