The book describes how nanobiostimulants, which are nanoscale materials that can enhance plant growth and productivity, have the potential to revolutionize sustainable agriculture practices. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the properties and functions of nanobiostimulants, the mechanisms behind their effects on plant growth, and the potential risks associated with their use. It also discusses how nanobiostimulants can be used to improve soil health and nutrient uptake, en...

The dependence of present farming on artificial input of “chemical fertilizers” has caused numerous ecological tribulations associated with global warming and soil contamination. Moreover, there is an essential requirement for realistic agricultural practices on a comprehensive level. Accordingly, biofertilizers including microbes have been recommended as feasible environmentally sound solutions for agricultural practices which not only are natural, and cost-effective but also preserve soi...

An increasing population has put tremendous pressure on agricultural productivity to fulfill the demands of human consumption. Numerous agricultural activities and techniques have been developed to raise annual crop production globally. While agriculture has succeeded in enhancing the yearly crop productivity, this achievement is at the cost of environmental degradation by applying synthetic persistent substances, such as industrial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Chemical fertil...
