These polymers are gaining increasing attention due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, making them an attractive alternative to traditional synthetic polymers. "Biopolymeric Nanoparticles for Agricultural Applications" focuses on the use of biopolymeric nanoparticles for various agricultural purposes. It explores the potential of these nanoparticles in improving crop productivity, enhancing soil quality, and reducing the environmental impact of agricultural practices. Biopolymeric nanoparticles have gained significant attention in recent years as a promising technology for various agricultural applications such as crop protection, nutrient delivery, and soil remediation. These nanoparticles are typically made from biodegradable and biocompatible materials, such as chitosan, alginate, and starch, and offer several advantages over conventional agricultural formulations including improved stability, controlled release, and enhanced efficacy. This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of biopolymeric nanoparticles in agriculture. It discusses the various biopolymeric nanoparticles that can be utilized in agriculture such as chitosan, cellulose, starch, and protein-based nanoparticles. It delves into their properties, synthesis methods, and characterization techniques. The primary purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the applications of biopolymeric nanoparticles in agriculture. It bridges the gap between the fields of nanotechnology and agriculture, offering insights into the potential benefits and challenges associated with their use. 410 0$aNanotechnology in the Life Sciences,$x2523-8035 606 $aAgricultural biotechnology 606 $aBotany 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aNanobiotechnology 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural Biotechnology 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aNanobiotechnology 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 615 0$aAgricultural biotechnology. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aNanobiotechnology. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 14$aAgricultural Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Science. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aNanobiotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 676 $a630 676 $a664.024 700 $aAbd-Elsalam$b Kamel A.$f1969-$01263978 701 $aHashim$b Ayat F$01766821 701 $aAhmed$b Farah K$01766822 701 $aThomas$b Sabu$0851308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910897982903321 996 $aBiopolymeric Nanoparticles for Agricultural Applications$94211534 997 $aUNINA
