Nanotechnology is an emerging, pivotal platform for enhancing plant health. On one hand, nanomaterials serve as crucial nutrients and nanofertilizers, while on the other, they have demonstrated their potential for diagnosing plant diseases, delivering fungicides and pesticides, and providing therapeutic solutions against diseases caused by pathogens and parasites. The book Nanotechnology in Plant Health explores the significance of nanomaterials in plant nutrition, nanofertilizers, and their role in managing plant pathogens, including the most formidable ones like quarantined strains. This unique publication represents a global team of contributors and stands out for its comprehensive coverage of plant nanonutrients, nanofertilizers, and nano-plant protectors.

This edited book deals with land regeneration and management using living organisms for a sustainable future. It brings together the latest developments made by leading biotechnologists, bioengineers and environmental scientists in the area of land remediation. The chapters cover different aspects of soil's conventional and emerging pollutants (synthetic or naturally occurring chemicals). Global population is rapidly affected by this catastrophic situation, industrialization and overuse of chemical compounds. There are currently many bioengineering strategies used to eliminate these dangerous chemicals. In this book, the chapters present the current evidence and comprehensive studies that may be useful for reader. It provides a comprehensive text thereby filling the gap in the literature. The contents of the book further deliver a good understanding of emerging environmental contaminants and their sustainable remediation through the use of bioengineering tools and techniques.This book is of interest to industry experts, researchers, academicians in bioengineering and biomedical sciences, graduates and undergraduates in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Environmental Sciences, Health, Clinical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. It is also a useful read for national and international agricultural scientists and policy makers.

This book addresses the diversity of tropical microorganisms and its applications in agriculture, renewable energy production and environmental protection. It covers several tropical habitats such as rain forests, mangroves, sea and river waters and describes how microorganisms isolated from these regions can be used to control insects and plant diseases, to improve sugar cane and biofuels production among other applications. The book also aims to bring researchers’ attention to the potential of tropical microorganisms for biotechnological purposes, an area that is still far from being well explored.
