Beskrivning

Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability: Current Status, Methods, and Future Strategies offers an in-depth exploration of how nanotechnology is transforming agriculture by enhancing crop productivity and environmental sustainability. The book addresses the bottleneck between the development and the implementation of nanotechnology in agriculture, focusing on the knowledge gaps related to environmental fate, standardization of characterization methods, mechanism of biological interaction, safety concerns, and the lack of consensus in regulatory guidelines.
A volume in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series, Engineered Nanomaterials for Agricultural Sustainability covers the design and application of nanomaterials for critical agricultural applications, such as nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, soil remediation, and nutrient management. It discusses key considerations regarding the fate and transport of the nano-enabled agrochemicals for their safe and effective commercialization. Subject matter experts provide comprehensive insights into the characterization techniques for studying nanomaterials in an agricultural context and advancements in understanding their mechanism of action and toxicity using multi-omics tools. The chapters present the latest research alongside regulatory challenges, offering a structured approach that enables readers to design nanomaterials for specific agricultural applications while avoiding undesirable impacts.
With a strong focus on sustainability, this volume provides a roadmap for responsible and effective implementation of nanotechnology in agriculture. It will be a go-to reference for those looking to harness nanomaterials to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security.

Presents an overview of nanomaterials for enhancing agriculture, including fertilizers, pesticides, and soil management
Includes methods for characterizing nanomaterials and assessing plant interactions and responses
Addresses key regulatory, environmental, and societal considerations for responsible use of agricultural nanotechnology

Mer om författaren

Dr. Sanghamitra Majumdar is a scientist at Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California Santa Barbara, CA, United States She earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Texas at El Paso, where she worked on the toxicological implications and in situ detection of engineered nanomaterials (ENM) in edible plants, and their trophic transfer in terrestrial environment. Dr. Majumdar’s primary research interest lies in exploring the scope and challenges towards the safe and sustainable use of ENMs in medicine, food and agriculture industries. She serves as a member on the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Committee E56 on Nanotechnology and has co-authored over research articles and reviews, and has delivered over presentations in national and international scientific meetings. She has served as the guest editor for a special issue for the journal Agronomy and serves as a reviewer for more than 10 scientific journals.. Dr. Jose R. Peralta-Videa was an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Environmental Science and Engineering PhD program at the University of Texas at El Paso until February 2023. He earned a Doctor of Science degree from the Genetic Center in the Postgraduate College at Chapingo, Mexico, 1986 and a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from The University of Texas at El Paso in 2002. His research is focused on the area of nanotoxicology, with an emphasis on the toxicity of nanoparticles in terrestrial systems. He has published more than 220 referred articles, 25 book chapters, 19 proceedings, and 4 manuals/booklets. As Senior Research Associate of Dr. Gardea-Torresdey, former Chair of the Chemistry Department, Dr. Peralta-Videa was an active member of the University of California Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (UC CEIN). UTEP was the branch of UC CEIN responsible for investigating the interaction of nanoparticles with terrestrial plants.
