The yield of major agricultural crops can be severely decreased due to
the inappropriate application of commonly used harmful chemicals.
Excessive agrochemicals in field application can negatively affect
microbial populations and their diversity, which in turn ultimately
affects plant growth. Thus, it is necessary to turn toward more
eco-friendly approaches which equally protect crops as well as the
desirable microbial populations of complex soil systems. Nanoparticles
are considered as potential agents for the production and development
of sustainable agriculture. Green synthesis of nanoparticles has
gained attention as a useful measure to diminish the harmful effects
associated with the old methods of nanoparticle synthesis. Advances in
Nanotechnology for Smart Agriculture: Techniques and Applications
illustrates the science and practical applications of nanoparticles
for sustainable agriculture. Features: Examines the role of
nanotechnology in agricultural best practices, including sustainable
development, precision farming, and long-term soil health
