Application of Nanoparticles in Crop Production and Protection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Nanobionics

Part of the book series: Nanotechnology in the Life Sciences ((NALIS))

Abstract

Nanotechnology discusses about the manufacture and exploitation of materials whose ingredients exist at the nanoscale. Recent manufacturing progressions have managed to alter nanomaterials into different sizes and shapes. Nanoparticles are being used for multiple purposes like in electronics, sensor technology optical devices, biological labeling, and medical treatments. However, the use of nanoparticles in agriculture, especially for crop production and protection, is an unmapped area. This review sums up application and role of nanomaterials in enhancing future crop production and protection.
