Nanotechnology in agriculture: Production, environmental impacts, and nano-enabled devices

Nano-science and nanotechnology hold a very promising future for agricultural productivity, disease suppression, targeted delivery of pesticides and fertilizers to curtail wastage, benefits to soil health, nano-enabled devices in precision agriculture, to name a few. Over the last few years, nano-plant interaction studies have been shifting gears towards the application as against the implication of nanotechnology in agriculture. The time calls for an attempt to draw focus on such a progress. Nanotechnology for Environmental Engineering of Springer is inviting research and review articles on phyto-nanotechnology and/or the benefits of nanotechnology in agriculture for the special issue "Nanotechnology in agriculture: Production, environmental impacts, and nano-enabled devices." The papers could deal with organic or inorganic nano-materials and under any of the following or related categories.
