Nanobiotechnology Approaches for Crop Protection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Phytobiont and Ecosystem Restitution

Abstract

Modern agriculture uses nanobiotechnology development as one of the most valuable tools. Using biomolecules in nanotechnology provides new agrochemical nanostructured formulations with different action mechanisms to increase crop productivity and improve their protection decreasing chemical pesticide use. Sustainability and safety of agriculturally cultivated crops are achieved by application of nanoformulations used for control of plant disease related with microorganisms, insects and environmental factors. Nanostructures are also applied for controlled release of nutrients and growth regulators. Safety of nanomaterials use and their environmental impacts are the important factors to acceptance of these new technologies by consumer and agricultural companies.
