Nanotechnology is emerging as an exciting field of research in relation to agriculture today, mainly due to its potential for tackling the harmful effects of abiotic stresses and climate change. This new book throws light on the use of nanoparticles as nanofertifilizers and details their prospective applications in agricultural science, including their use in minimizing the consequences of climate change, enhancing nutrient utilization efficiency, and achieving abiotic stress management.

With chapters contributed by expert researchers from around the world, this book summarizes the importance of nanotechnology in abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants, presenting the latest research on the application of nanotechnology in agriculture crop production, its various applications in crop growth enhancement under different abiotic stress conditions, and the uses of various nanoparticles in agricultural fields for better yield and productivity.

The book begins with a basic introduction to the concept of nanotechnology and its role in modern agriculture and proceeds to cover some of the latest trends and highlighting the prospects of nanotechnology in promoting sustainable agriculture through nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanoencapsulation, nanosensors, nanobarcodes, and intelligent distribution systems. It also details important topics such as nano-priming as seed priming technology for sustainable agriculture, the role of Si and nano-silicon (SiNP) in ameliorating biotic and abiotic stresses, and more. The use of nanotechnology in specific plants is also discussed, such as, for example, in cotton, forage crops, medicinal crops, etc.

Covering nanotechnology for its diverse use in agriculture, focusing on both its possibilities and challenges, this book will be valuable for researchers and agricultural scientists as well as for faculty and students in the emerging field of nanotechnology in agricultural sciences.
