Produktbeschreibung

This book is a comprehensive guide to nanoformulations revolutionizing agriculture, enhancing sustainability, and advancing agrochemical applications.

This book examines state-of-the-art research, emerging challenges, and new opportunities in the field of nanoformulations for agriculture applications. Detailed discussions include the development and use of nanopesticides, nanoformulations for promoting plant growth, and nanotechnology for effective crop disease management. Furthermore, it covers recent trends in the design and production of nano-based formulations and nanocarriers for the efficient delivery of agrochemicals.

The book is divided into three sections. The first section introduces readers to agricultural applications and methods for nanoparticle synthesis, their applications, and types of biomasses. It examines the benefits of agriculture and the role of nanotechnology in the agriculture sector. The second section focuses on nanoformulations for plant growth promotion. It covers topics on types of nanoparticles, synthesis methods of nanoparticles, and applications of nanoparticles in the agricultural field. The third section discusses trends, various other applications, and the benefits of using nanocarriers in agriculture.

Audience
This book is aimed at researchers, engineers and scientists working in agrochemicals, crops, soil, biotechnology (chemistry), microbiology, nano-chemistry/technology/materials/formulations in agriculture applications.
