Sustainable Use of Nanoparticles in Agriculture

Sustainable Use of Nanoparticles in Agriculture explores the specific challenges of understanding and applying the catalytic efficacy of nanotechnology for agricultural crop improvement. Focusing specifically on the nanomaterial-based metal organic frameworks as single atom catalysis to improve their applicability through innovations in the makeup, style and structure of those catalysts.

Nano-nutrition is the implementation of nanotechnology to provide nano-sized nutrients to grow crops addressing both biotic and abiotic nutrients. As abiotic nutrients or NPs are obtained from inorganic substances such as salts, they post challenges as many of these are un-biodegradable whereas biotic nutrients are made from organic sources that are biodegradable and eco-friendly. This book presents research into nano-nutrition that has been undertaken to create a methodology for improving plant nutrition that is sustainable and effective.

Sustainable Use of Nanoparticles in Agricultures focuses on utilizing nano-nutrition to improve plant productivity in both micro-and macronutrients on a wide scale without environmental risks. This book is an important reference for researchers and academics seeking insights into the potential means to improve crop plant health.
