This book highlights the best practices regarding nanoscience and
nanotechnology for agriculture and environmental sectors to shape
sustainable development thought to improve the quality and quantity
of the agriculture products and to decrease the collateral effect
of nanotechnology in the ecosystems. Besides, leading
nanotechnologies are showed and discussed to guarantee their proper
management in lands and ecosystems. Therefore, nanotechnologies
such as agronanobiotechnology, nanofertilization, pest control,
magnetofection for plant breeding, plant molecular farming, OMICs
technologies, phytonanotechnology, nanoremediation, etc. are
described in five sections and 21 chapters. Undoubtedly it is an
ideal and updated book for undergraduate or postgraduate students,
and scientists or researchers involved in nanoscience,
nanotechnology, crop production, and remediation technologies as
well as for those researchers that solving technical problems
regarding the crop management and the human and environmental
health without hampering the pursuit of sustainable development
goals.
Nanobiotechnology in agriculture is a new knowledge area that
offers novel possibilities to achieve high productivity levels at
manageable costs during the production and merchandising of crops.
This book shows us how we can use the cutting-edge knowledge about
agriculture, nanotechnology, and biotechnology to increase the
agricultural productivity and shape a sustainable future in order
to increase the social welfare in rural areas and preserve the
environmental health. Specialists from several countries will
provide their feedback on a range of relevant topics such as
environment-friendly use of nanofertilisers, nanodevices, nano-food
packaging, nanocoating and nanocarriers and their relationship with
the modern agriculture.
This book describes many important principles of fertilizer
management and the environmental pollution problems due to the
indiscriminate soil fertilization rate. The long-term impacts of
organic or mineral fertilizer use have implications on soil
fertility, crop yields, water quality, climatic change, greenhouse
gas emissions, etc. Twelve chapters provide the state of the art of
some important topics on subsistence agriculture, modern agronomy,
and technological improvements which have sharply increased yields
from cultivation, with a special emphasis on the sustainable
management and environmental impact of commercial and
nontraditional fertilizers. Without a doubt, this book is a
valuable contribution to the agricultural sciences and it would not
have been possible without the invaluable contributions,
immeasurable acknowledgements, and recognized expertise from the
authors.
