Carbon Dots in Agricultural Systems integrates and crystallizes the emerging knowledge and application strategies of carbon dots as a powerful tool in agriculture systems. The book includes practical insights into the synthesis of carbon dots from indigenous raw materials and how to employ them in agriculture systems to increase crop productivity and provide renewable and cost-effective strategies that meet agricultural needs. Presented by an international team of experts, this resource updates on the latest in synthesis, physical, chemical and optical properties, along with the effects and mechanisms of carbon dots, all further explained in real-world studies.Finally, the book highlights emerging innovative topics which are of great relevance to scientists, academicians and innovators in agriculture (soil science, agricultural chemistry and agronomy) and biotechnology for further research and development.- Encompasses the cost-effective novel synthesis of CDs from biomass materials, with a special emphasis on locally available agro-residues- Comprises nanotechnology-based approaches for applications in agricultural plant systems- Addresses the mechanism of carbon dots as activators of photosynthesis through their photoluminescent properties- Presents the output mechanism of carbon dots applications in agriculture with relevance to biomass and main crop yield
