Nanopesticides, Nanoherbicides, and Nanofertilizers: Formulations
and Applications demonstrates the potential for nanomaterials to
revolutionize modern agriculture to become more sustainable. A team
of expert scientists explain how the nanoformulation of
traditionally used herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides can
enable large-scale crop protection from unwanted weeds and pests as
well at the environmental side effects that are caused by the bulk
application of chemicals. The volume demonstrates how nanomaterials
like hydroxyapatite, clay minerals, zeolites, polyacrylic acid and
many more have been successfully used to develop fertilizers that
promote a slower release of chemicals due to the unique properties
of nanomaterials. Their use in lower concentrations helps in
decreasing the toxicity to non-targeted organisms as well as
lowering the risk of environmental degradation. Features: •
Categorically discusses the formulations and applications of
nanopestides, nanoherbicides, and nanofertilizers, as well as their
impact on the environment. • Features chapters on patent
landscape, environmental acceptability, and environmental risks.
• Addresses degradation of nanoparticles as well expected
toxicity and drawback of nanomaterial-based pesticides, herbicides,
and fertilizers. This book is essential reading for both
researchers and professionals working in the fields of
Biotechnology, Nanomaterials and Agricultural Chemistry. Dr. Anjali
