Nanomaterials for Agriculture and Forestry Applications

Nanomaterials for Agriculture and Forestry Applications explores how nanomaterials are being used in the agriculture and forestry sectors. Several issues, including plant response to engineered nanomaterials, fabrication from forest products and plant systems, applications of nano-sensor platforms, processing, packaging and regulatory issues are comprehensively covered. This book is an important resource, showing how nanotechnology is being used to enhance large-scale agricultural, industrial application and production. Nanotechnology plays a central role in solving many global challenges, including sustainable and secure food production and utilization of natural resources. Various plant parts are used for the synthesis of metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles as they contain primary and secondary metabolites, which act as reducing agents to produce nanoparticles.
