Nanotechnology in Sustainable Agriculture presents applications of
nanobiotechnology for eco-friendly agriculture practices.
Implementing sustainable agriculture techniques is a crucial
component in meeting projected global food demands while minimising
toxic waste in the environment. Nano-technological tools -
including nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanotubes and nanomolecules
- offer sustainable options to modernise agriculture systems.
Written by nanotechnology experts, this book outlines how
nano-formulations can improve yield without reliance on chemecial
pesticides and reduce nutrient losses in fertilization. It reveals
how nanotools are used for rapid disease diagnostics, in treating
plant diseases and enhancing the capacity for plants to absorb
nutrients. Features: Combines nanotechnology and agronomy
presenting applications for improving plant performance and yields.
Reveals nanotechnology-based products used for the soil and plant
health management which mitigate climate change. Discusses roles of
microbial endophytes, heavy metal nanoparticles and environment
health, nano-nutrients, phytochemicals, green bioengineering and
plant health. This book appeals to professionals working in the
agriculture and food industry, as well as agricultural scientists
and researchers in nanotechnology and agronomy.
To satisfy the food demands of the global population, advanced
technology based research is needed, that can extract the
information from the plant metabolism and microbial gene pool and
use it for improving plant health and productivity. Modern
biotechnological tools have the ability to unlock the limitations
of agricultural practices. However, the application of these tools
is not well equipped. Moreover, eco-friendly agriculture by
microbial inoculants is known to have positive influences on
soil/plant health. Therefore it is relevant to explore the plant
associated microbial niches, especially endophytes, epiphytes, and
soil microbes and understand how they are benefitting each other.
It can open new insights to develop sustainable agriculture
practices by using consortia of microbes as plant helpers that
recover the imbalanced agriculture systems and manage pathogenic
diseases. This book presents the updates about the plant associated
microbiomes and their contemporary uses. It covers the knowledge
gap between soil and plant helper microbiomes and their application
in the agriculture and allied sectors. Modern insights of
phytobiomes are explored in various chapters on a variety of
interrelated aspects of the fascinating areas like plant microbial
interaction, integrated pest management, soil fertility
intensification, sustainable crop production, and disease
management. Sections in the book describe how to plant beneficial
microbiomes have been utilized for sustainable green farming, with
the aim to resolve the global food problem without harming the soil
and environment health. This book is intended for everyone who is
involved in agriculture, microbial biotechnology, bioinformatics,
and all disciplines related to microbial biotechnology. These
include academic students, scientists, and researchers at
universities, institutes, industries, and government organizations
who want to understand microbial linkages in a shorter time. It
contains basic information that will be help to the non-specialist
readers to understand progressive research.

Microbiomes and Plant Health: Panoply and Their Applications
includes the most recent advances in phytobiome research. The book
emphasizes the use of modern molecular tools such as smart delivery
systems for microbiol inoculation, next-generation sequencing, and
genome mapping. Chapters discuss a variety of applications and
examples, including the sugarcane microbiome, rhizoengineering,
nutrient recycling, sustainable agricultural practices and
bio-potential of herbal medicinal plants. Written by a range of
experts with real-world practical insights, this title is sure to
be an essential read for plant and soil microbiologists,
phytopathologists, agronomists, and researchers interested in
sustainable forestry and agriculture practices.
