Nanotechnology in Plant Pathology

The book Nanotechnology in Plant Pathology provides readers with up-to-date and comprehensive information on the various applications of nanomaterials, nanomolecules, and nanosensors in the field of plant diseases. This book fulfills the need for a comprehensive resource on the significance of nanotechnology in plant pathology, offering the latest information on this rapidly developing topic. The book is conveniently divided into nine chapters, covering the latest information and developments in nanotechnology with respect to plant diseases. These chapters include an introduction to nanotechnology, categories and characterization of nanoparticles, nanotechnology in plant disease diagnosis, nanoparticles in plant disease management, nanotechnology and pesticides, nanotechnology in pesticide delivery, regulations and risks in nanotechnology, nanotoxicity and nanosafety. The book also includes quality diagrams, convincing tables, and suitable graphs/illustrations for enhanced readability. Each chapter also includes a bibliography providing a list of references cited for further reading. The contents of this book, which reflect an extensive literature search, will be particularly useful for teachers, researchers, and students in plant pathology, state departments of horticulture and agriculture, commercial protection centers, administrators, policy planners, and all those who are interested and concerned with the use and application of nanoparticles in plant pathology.
