Nanopesticides, Nanoherbicides, and Nanofertilizers: Formulations and Applications demonstrates the potential for nanomaterials to revolutionize modern agriculture to become more sustainable.
A team of expert scientists explain how the nanoformulation of traditionally used herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides can protect large-scale crops from unwanted weeds and pests as well as from the environmental side effects that are caused by the bulk application of chemicals. This book demonstrates how nanomaterials, such as hydroxyapatite, clay minerals, zeolites, and polyacrylic acid, have been successfully used to develop fertilizers that promote a slower release of chemicals due to the unique properties of nanomaterials. Their use in lower concentrations helps in decreasing the toxicity to non-targeted organisms as well as lowering the risk of environmental degradation.
FEATURES:
Categorically discusses the formulations and applications of nanopestides, nanoherbicides, and nanofertilizers, as well as their impact on the environment
Presents chapters on patent landscape, environmental acceptability, and environmental risks
Addresses degradation of nanoparticles as well expected toxicity and drawbacks of nanomaterial-based pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers
This book is essential reading for researchers and professionals working in the fields of biotechnology, nanomaterials and agricultural chemistry.
