Hayat S., Pichtel J., Faizan M., Fariduddin Q. (Eds.) Nanotechnology for Plant Growth and Development

Springer, 2020. — 223 p. — (Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 41). — ISBN: 978-3-030-33995-1.This book presents recent developments involving the role of nanoparticles on plant physiology and growth. Nanotechnology applications include improvement of agricultural production using bio-conjugated NPs (encapsulation), transfer of DNA in plants for development of insect pest-resistant varieties, nanoformulations of agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers for crop improvement, and nanosensors/nanobiosensors in crop protection for identification of diseases and residues of agrochemicals. Recent findings on the increased use of nanotechnology in agriculture by densely populated countries such as China and India indicate that this technology may impart a substantial impact on reducing hunger, malnutrition, and child mortality.Nanomaterials: Scope, Applications, and Challenges in Agriculture and Soil Reclamation
