Nano-Technological Intervention in Agricultural Productivity

Nano-Technological Intervention in Agricultural Productivity explores sustainable, eco-friendly technologies for remediating wastes and contaminated areas in both water and land ecosystems. It focuses on nano-technological innovations that use microbes and microbial agents to improve the quality and pollutant discharge of contaminated sites. The book opens with an overview of the functions, classification, properties, synthesis, and applications of nanoparticles and examines the current role and future prospects of nanotechnology in managing plant diseases, improving agri-food production, and increasing agricultural productivity. It also covers lignin nanoparticles, various applications of nanotechnology in agriculture, and nano-based advances in plant and microbial science.

Nano-Technological Intervention in Agricultural Productivity delves into sustainable, eco-friendly technologies for remediating wastes and contaminated areas in both water and land ecosystems. Focusing on nano-technological innovations that utilize microbes and microbial agents to enhance the quality and pollutant discharge of contaminated sites, this comprehensive volume also discusses molecular approaches for characterizing nanoparticles, the biosynthetic pathways of microbes, gene and protein expression studies for bio-deterioration techniques, and more. Organized into nine chapters, the book opens with a thorough overview of the functions, classification, properties, synthesis, and applications of nanoparticles. Following a discussion of the environmental and agricultural implications of nanotechnology, the authors examine the current role and future prospects of nanotechnology in managing plant diseases, improving agri-food production, and increasing agricultural productivity. Subsequent chapters cover lignin nanoparticles, various applications of nanotechnology in agriculture, and nano-based advances in plant and microbial science. Offering an up-to-date account of the role of nanotechnologies in agricultural bioremediation, this book:

Explores biotechnological advances in the development of sophisticated green technologies for waste minimization and waste control

Emphasizes the use of microbes for degradation and removal of various xenobiotic substances

Discusses bioremediation approaches in relation to the impact of increased urbanization and industrialization on the environment

Covers a variety of applications of nanotechnology in.
