Nano-bioinoculants: Smart Tools for Modern Agriculture discusses the interactions between nanoparticles and soil–plants–microbio... systems in a single-volume book designed to guide improvements in sustainable agriculture i.e. plant production and soil health. Past practices for the application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers have reduced the beneficial microbial diversity and soil fertility essential for optimal crop yield and overall plant health. As a result, developing innovative approaches to plant/soil health maintenance, bioremediation process, and stress management is advancing. Plant protection methods are increasingly being tailored to improve sustainable precision results, reduce environmental impact, and to target specific plant health challenges. Nano-bioinoculants: Smart Tools for Modern Agriculture explains nanoparticles and beneficial microbes and their impact on soil microbiomes, soil fertility restoration, remediation of contaminated soil, and plant health. It also highlights nanoparticles and bioinoculants in stress management, plant growth, and productivity, as well as covering the potentially toxic effect of nanoparticles on humans and the environment. This volume in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series explores the potential of nano-biotechnology for better agronomic performance and sustainability.
