Nanoremediation for Sustainable Crop Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanoscience in Food and Agriculture 5

Part of the book series: Sustainable Agriculture Reviews ((SARV,volume 26))

Abstract

Nanoremediation is a promising strategy to controlling pollution. Nanoremediation involves the use of nanomaterials and plants, named phyto-nanoremediation, animals, named zoo-nanoremediation and microbes, named microbial nanoremediation. Here we review environmental pollution, crop protection and nanoremediation.
