Biochar for Mitigating Abiotic Stress in Plants provides a unique and leading resource for utilizing biochar to address specific plant health challenges, including osmotic, ionic, and oxidative stress. With a focus on crop yielding plants, the book provides targeted application insights to improve plant health, and resulting crop production. Readers will find important tools toward the identification, treatment, and management of a variety of abiotic stressors through the effective and appropriate application of biochar. This is an important reference for those seeking to apply current knowledge and an inspiration for further research in the area.Biochar is a carbon-rich organic substance produced by the pyrolysis of organic materials in the absence or presence of oxygen. It is an organic matter conditioner that can boost carbon sequestration and organic and inorganic pollutant immobilization. It is a crucial method for soil regeneration. Additionally, biochar facilitates increasing mineral supply and soil organic matter, resulting in soils with increased nutritional content.

Covers the latest evidence-based approach in the diagnosis and management of plants under abiotic stressIncludes easy-to-follow algorithms and key pointsProposes options for sustaining crop production under the effects of climate change

The purpose of this book is to thoroughly understand the interaction of the most widely produced and commercial nanoparticles (NPs) with stressed plants and to study the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms by which NPs mitigate stressful conditions. This book explores recent advancements in NPs and their contribution to promoting plant growth, as well as improving plant tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, along with the mechanisms behind these effects. To our knowledge, this is the first book focused on the impact of the most widely produced and commercial (15 types of NPs) on plants under abiotic and biotic stressors.The book is intended for researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in plant sciences, nanobiotechnology, agronomy, plant physiology, plant pathology, soil science, and environmental science. It will also be highly relevant to professionals working on abiotic and biotic stress management, nano-enabled agricultural inputs, sustainable crop production, and climate-resilient agriculture, as well as policymakers and industry specialists interested in nanoparticle-based strategies for sustainable plant solutions.
