Synopsis Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods by : Kamel A Abd-Elsalam

Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods explores the science of nutrient nanoformulation, a potential tool toward sustainable and climate-sensitive crops.Wide-spread use of chemical fertilizers has been shown to causes significant damage to soil structure, mineral cycles, soil microbial flora, plants, and creating human health risk both immediately and for future generations. Through methods that include targeted distribution, and gradual or controlled release, nanostructured fertilizers can improve nutrient usage efficiency. According to recent studies, through environmental cues and biological demands, nano-fertilizers can respond to specifical challenges, and boost agricultural yield by increasing the rate of seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthetic activity, nitrogen metabolism, and carbohydrate and protein synthesis. Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods discusses the potential agricultural benefits of nanofertilizers from coverage of their formulation and delivery, to application, plant uptake, translocation, and destiny, and their overall effect on plant physiology and metabolism. This book is ideal for researchers in industry and academia. - Highlights types, uses, and advantages of a wide range and variety of nanofertilizers on agri-food sectors - Looks at current practices, their challenges, and future development opportunities - Includes methods and applications for real-world insights
