Biosensors in Agriculture: Recent Trends and Future Perspectives

Part of the book series: Concepts and Strategies in Plant Sciences ((CSPS))

Abstract

Discovery of nanomaterials in the last three decades and their unique properties led the boom in their applications in various areas. Use of these materials in engineering, medical and environment also increased their attraction for the potential applications in agriculture. The current focus of agriculture research is the sustainable increase in crop production and protection. For achieving the goals, constant checking of parameters such as moisture content, soil fertility, temperature, crop nutrient capacity, pathogens, plant diseases, etc. are highly required. Use of nano sensors for monitoring these aspects are found to be very effective in increasing the healthy crop production. This chapter describes the applications of different nanomaterials in sensing of gases during different phases of agricultural practices. The objective is to evaluate the current literature using the gas sensors in agriculture and meat production, and their storage and transport applications.
