Nanotechnology in Agriculture and Agroecosystems presents the latest research on the role of nanotechnology in agriculture and agroecosystems, offering innovations and many potential benefits in terms of plant growth, food production, crop protection and ecosystem management. Sections introduce new perspectives on the use of nanotechnology in agroecosystems and sustainable agriculture. Subsequent chapters focus on specific areas of innovation, covering a wide range of applications, including plant disease and protection, food processing and packaging, soil quality, precision farming, and groundwater treatment.

This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across a range of disciplines, but it is also ideal for industrial scientists, engineers and R&D professionals with an interest in nanotechnology and sustainable technologies for agriculture and agro-industries.

Dr. Avinash P. Ingle is currently working as a Research Scientist (Ramanujan Fellow) at the Biotechnology Centre, Department of Agricultural Botany, at Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Agricultural University, in Maharashtra, India. He completed his doctoral degree at SGB Amravati University, working as a Research Scientist at the same institution from 2013 to 2016, before being awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship (FAPESP) at the Department of Biotechnology, Engineering School of Lorena, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, for three years. Dr. Ingle has edited several books with various international publishers, 65 book chapters, and over 90 research publications in international, peer-reviewed journals. His research interests include nanobiotechnology, biofuel technology, and sustainable agriculture.
