Nanofertilizers and nanopesticides increase crop efficiency because of a several-fold increase in the surface-to-volume ratio of nano-forms of nutrients and their suitability to foliar application. The potential agricultural benefits of these nanomaterials, their modes of action, and the fate of nanomaterials in the soil are all discussed. 

This book uses a multidisciplinary approach and highlights the expertise of the authors in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, nanobiosensors, and agricultural research. It describes the details of nanoscale synthesis of...
