  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Nanotechnology

Abstract

Nanotechnology is emerging as the key enabling technology that contributes to increased crop production with special emphasis on soil protection with environmental sustainability. Increasing worldwide food security and challenging climatic conditions are the key components for encouraging the scientific community to focus on accelerating the growth of nanoagrotechnology. Last few decades immensely contributed to the field of agriculture; technological innovations by several hybrid varieties, synthetic chemical compounds and advanced techniques of biotechnology are an integral part of this achievement. The present decade emerged as the “decade of nanoagrotechnology”, as a new origin of agricultural developments through most groundbreaking scientific finding in the field.
