Graphene and Nanomaterials Applications

In recent years, Nanotechnology gained a lot of attention due to its wide applications in various fields. As the surface area increases, the applicative efficiency of the nanostructure also increases. Now a days, the potential application of nanotechnology in the field of agriculture leads to an intensive researches. The combination of nanotechnology and agriculture acts a novel tool and result in the production of nano-fertilizers, nano-herbicides, nano-fungicides, nano-pesticides, and nano-insecticides, commonly termed as Nanoagrochemicals. These nano-agrochemicals have attained great interest in the research field due to the economically viable and eco-friendly nature. Beside, the enormous benefits of agrochemicals in agriculture, it helps to replace the synthetic fertilizers and pesticides which lead to the increase in the output. However, there is a vast research is going in this field, some difficulties are facing to reach among farmer, greater production cost, lack of awareness, impact on the environment, humans etc. In future we may expect nano-agrochemicals to upgrade the efficiency of inputs and providing a permanent solutions to problems faced for improving productivity and biosafety. In this chapter the authors will discuss about the economic importance and future trends of the nano-agrochemicals. enhancing the efficiency of agricultural inputs and providing solutions to agricultural problems for improving food productivity and security. This review covers the current influences of nanotechnology in agriculture, nanoagrochemicals, characterization of nanoparticles, and sustainable development.
