Nano-Biopesticides
Today and Future Perspectives is the first single-volume resource to examine the
practical development, implementation and implications of combining the
environmentally aware use of biopesticides with the potential power of
nanotechnology. While biopesticides have been utilized for years, researchers
have only recently begun exploring delivery methods that utilize nanotechnology
to increase efficacy while limiting the negative impacts traditionally seen
through the use of pest control means. Written by a panel of global experts,
the book provides a foundation on nano-biopesticide development paths, plant
health and nutrition, formulation and means of delivery.
The book provides comprehensive insights, including relevant
information on environmental impact and safety, technology development,
implementation, and intellectual property. Discusses the role of
nanotechnology and its potential applications as a nanomaterial in crop
protection for a cleaner and greener agriculture. Presents a strategic,
comprehensive and forward-looking approach.
