Nano-enabled Agrochemicals in AgricultureAuthor(s): Mansour Ghorbanpour, Muhammad Adnan Shahid\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780323910095, 978-0323910095\nSynopsis\nNano-Enabled Agrochemicals in Agriculture presents a targeted overview of the safe implementation of nanotechnologies within agricultural and horticultural settings, with the purpose of achieving enhanced production while maintaining ecological integrity. The growing global request for agricultural crops and products requires high standards of quality and safety, which has stimulated the search for new technologies that preserve their quality and delay their decomposition. Nanotechnology may boost plant production by improving nutrient uptake/use efficiency with nanoformulations of fertilizers and agrochemicals for plant enhancement, detection and treatment of diseases, and host-parasite interactions at the molecular level using nan.
