Since their emergence, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become some of the most exciting and revolutionary nanomaterials due to their remarkable mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. They hold the potential to transform agriculture by enabling new methods for crop production, nutrient delivery, stress management, and sustainable agriculture. This book provides an overview of CNT applications in agriculture and acts as a bridge between materials science and sustainable agriculture. It highlights recent advances in CNT synthesis, integration, and use in sensors, disease management, fertilization, packaging, and waste recycling. With contributions from leading researchers, the chapters offer a clear vision of how CNTs can revolutionize modern agriculture. While also discussing the benefits and limitations of scaling environmentally friendly CNT use in agriculture.The book will be useful for researchers, agricultural scientists, nanotechnology specialists, sustainability advocates, and graduate students who want to understand how CNTs can change farming and contribute to eco-friendly agricultural innovation.Key features: Explores the interactions between CNTs and plant cells to enhance growth, modulate stress responses, and improve uptake and transportation across various plant species. Covers CNT formulations and delivery systems designed for controlled-release fertilizers in agricultural applications. Reviews the development of CNT-based sensors for food packaging and farming systems, including the detection of plant pathogens and real-time tracking of crop health. Discusses the future of sustainable agriculture, with a focus on recycling Carbon nanotubes from agricultural wastes. Examines the environmental effects of CNTs' use in agricultural ecosystems.
