Nanopesticides and Nanosensors in Agriculture

Nanotechnology is a conspicuous technology of the modern decade, and it is significantly applicable in electrical, electronics, optical, food packing, sensing, medical and energy fields. Similarly, agriculture is also gratified by the use of nanotechnology in the form of nanopesticides and nanosensors with great hope for future sustainability. This chapter covers the effect of nanopesticides, nanoformulations, nanoencapsulation, detection of pesticides, ecotoxicology and current challenges of sustainability that are exploring by the researchers in the area of nanotechnology in the improvement of agriculture.
