In light of current climate change trends, CNT-assisted crop yield is likely to play a significant role in improving plant health, enhancing root growth, and improved tolerance in plants to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses. Primarily targeted towards scientists and researchers in nanotechnology, nano-agriculture, nanomaterial-assisted crop improvement, as well as plant stress tolerance, plant biotechnology and crop yield, this book is the first to focus on this important topic.
- Presents a nanotechnology approach for the management of abiotic and biotic stresses in plants
- Explores nanotechnology-assisted rhizosphere engineering and its role in fertilizer development
- Includes expert insights from around the globe
