ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses potential applications of nanotechnology in agricultural and biological engineering. It also augments knowledge to convey the agriculture applications, potential of nanomaterials in agriculture management, pest control, fertilizers, clay and disease treatment and plant protection, and production. Nanotechnology promises to change the entire way of life—from creation to preparing, storage, and improvement of inventive materials, items, applications. Nanotechnology offers applications in pollutant remediation, agricultural production, food securing, animal feed, climate change, and food processing materials. The disease management is an important factor that contributes to better crop productivity; and the issue with disease management involves detection of correct phase of prevention. In agriculture, nanotechnology is used as nanocapsules, nanosensors for monitoring crop growth and pest control of animal or plant diseases identification. Vermicomposting is quicker than treating the dirt fertilizing the soil so that the material experiences the night crawler gut, by which propped with irritation repellence properties too.
