Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability: Current Status, Methods and Future Strategies

Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability: Current Status, Methods and Future Strategies addresses the bottleneck between the development and implementation of nanotechnology created by the knowledge gap in the science, regulation and impact on both the environment and consumers. The book presents the latest insights from studies on the mechanisms and fate of nanomaterials in plants in a structured and organized way that enables the reader to design nanomaterials for specific agricultural applications, avoid undesirable effects on those plants, and to identify the most appropriate path forward toward commercial application. With important insights into the regulatory constraints, this volume will be a go-to reference for those seeking to find strategies for using nanomaterials and nanotechnology to improve agricultural output and food security. Enables improved research experiment design as well as correlation of findingsFacilitates identification of best fit-for-purpose tools and approaches for efficient application of technologiesIncludes regulatory considerations critical for successful implementation INDICE: 1.
