Nano- and Nanohybrid Fungicides: Novel Applications in Plant Pathology addresses nanofungicides and the opportunities that nano-agrochemicals can provide. Organized into three parts, this book addresses the synthesis and formulation of nanofungicides and nanohybrid fungicides, as well as their sensing, degradation, and commercialization. Furthermore, the book assesses the potential hazards and safety of nanofungicdes for agroecosytems, in addition to startup, patents, regulatory concerns, and prospects. Plant scientists, plant pathologist, agriculture and food scientists, and professionals and students working in related fields will all benefit from this timely resource.
