Publisher's Synopsis
Carbon Nanotubes in Agriculture: Specifications and Applications presents a comprehensive overview of the beneficial roles of carbon nano-tubes (CNT) in regulation of seed germination, plant metabolism and their applications in plant stress management with particular focus on agricultural crop plants. In light of current climate change trends, CNT-assisted crop yield is likely to play a significant role of improving plant health, enhancing root growth, and the improved tolerance to plants to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses.
Primarily targeted towards the 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 the potential for carbon nanotubes in an agricultural setting.
