A team of expert scientists explain how the nanoformulation of traditionally used herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides can enable large-scale crop protection from unwanted weeds and pests as well at the environmental side effects that are caused by the bulk application of chemicals. The volume demonstrates how nanomaterials like hydroxyapatite, clay minerals, zeolites, polyacrylic acid and many more have been successfully used to develop fertilizers that promote a slower release of chemicals due to the unique properties of nanomaterials. Their use in lower concentrations helps in decreasing the toxicity to non-targeted organisms as well as lowering the risk of environmental degradation"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003364429 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
