The challenges posed by climate change have had a significant impact on global food security, with crop yields negatively affected by abiotic and biotic stresses. The book Nanopriming Approach to Sustainable Agriculture offers a promising solution to this problem, providing a sustainable technology that ensures the growth and development of healthy plants in adverse conditions. By using nanoparticles to enhance seed germination and growth, nanopriming establishes pre-resistance against diseases and stresses, thereby reducing the need for pesticides and fertilizers. This reduction in the use of harmful chemicals not only benefits the environment but also helps increase the income of farmers worldwide. This edited book offers a comprehensive overview of the latest research and development in nanotechnology for agriculture, covering topics such as crop production, protection, soil fertility improvement, and crop improvement. With each chapter focusing on a specific topic, the book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professors seeking to stay up to date with the latest advances in nanotechnology. The book is especially relevant for those interested in precision farming, and it highlights the potential of nanopriming as an effective tool for sustainable agriculture. Topics covered include seed priming with zinc oxide and silver nanoparticles, myco-synthesized nanoparticles as seed priming agents, and nanopriming for alleviating heavy metal toxicity in plants. Co-edited by leading researchers in the field, this book is designed to be a valuable asset for university courses and provides updated knowledge and applications in agriculture sciences. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the latest research in nanotechnology for agriculture and its potential to revolutionize sustainable agriculture practices worldwide.
