Abstract

Agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides are very important elements in crop production. Engineered nanomaterials offer very advanced results in agriculture, exploring the properties of nano dimension. Controlled-release fertilizers and pesticides provide a new method to solve low nutrient utilization rates and prevent environmental pollution and non-target risks. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials constructed by the formation of covalent bonds between metal nodes or clusters and functional organic ligands. Owing to their inherent advantages, such as crystalline ordered structures, high surface area, high porosity, outer surface modification, and tuneable pore channels. MOFs have attracted much interest, offering numerous potential applications in diverse fields. MOFs are well-established materials for drug delivery and other biomedical applications. Recently, MOF- based materials have also been used as nanocarriers for slow release of fertilizers and pesticide. The applications of several MOF structures and their derivatives as nanocarriers of fertilizers and pesticides will be highlighted in this book chapter.
