Publisher's Synopsis
"Nanotechnology in agriculture has created many concerns related to toxicity and environmental implications. Green synthesis techniques for producing nanomaterials utilizing plants, microorganisms, and other natural resources have been developed in response to the demand for green chemistry and nanotechnology. This book provides in-depth information on the plant-based synthesis of nanoparticles and promotes sustainable agriculture. It critically reviews nanomaterials synthesized from plants and their potential applications including nano-sized insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and sensors, which can be helpful in studying and managing plant health and soil fertility"--.
