Carbon Nanotubes in Agriculture: Specifications and Applications

Provides 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 in improving plant health, enhancing root growth, and increasing tolerance to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses.

Primarily targeted towards 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.

- Presents a nanotechnology approach for the management of abiotic and biotic stresses in plants

- Explores nanotechnology-assisted rhizosphere engineering and its role in fertilizer development

- Includes expert insights from around the globe
