"The proposed book will be a detailed contribution to the subject with one related book in the same field. Most of chapter's contents focused on nanoscience and soil-water interaction in agroecosystem. This book will be a comprehensive account of the literature on various aspects of nanotechnology including the role of nanoparticles in soil-water retention processes, water holding capacity, soil fate and dynamics, and soil microbial populations, nanofertilizers and their characteristics, hydrogel materials, have been studied. The desalination, removal of heavy metals, nano-agrochemicals, and other pollutants using nanomaterials and improving the soil-water interaction is also studied. Nano-nutrients transformation and acquisition in soil-plant systems; accumulation of nanomaterials in soil and their toxic effects on soil-plant systems; emerging contaminants in soil, water and agroecosystems are also discussed in this book. The audience will be able to gather information from a single book series. Students, teachers, researchers from colleges, universities, research institutes, as well as industry will get benefits from the current book. Of course, this book does not include all achievements and aspects of nano agrochemicals interaction in water and soil,but we design tentative novel toc. Yet, we hope that through this book the readers will not only gain profound insight into this fascinating research area but also be attracted to keep an eye on this field in the future. There are no books available on nanoscience and soil-water interaction in agroecosystem"--
This book discusses how important nanotechnology is for increasing agricultural production through better management of the soil and water.
This book discusses how important nanotechnology is for increasing agricultural production through better management of the soil and water. The book looks at how soil characteristics, water retention, and nutrient availability may all be improved by nanoparticles. It draws attention to the use of nanoparticles in precision agriculture as well as their potential for cleaning up polluted soils. The book provides creative answers to problems like water shortages and soil degradation by fusing nanoscience with conventional methods, eventually advancing sustainable farming methods. The significance of nanotechnology in building resilient agroecosystems for future food security is highlighted by this interdisciplinary approach.
