Preface
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials are increasingly imparting its great influence in our life and environment. During the last two decades, significant amount of research has been conducted in nanotechnology focusing on their application in electronics, energy, mechanics, and life sciences including plant sciences. The impact of nanotechnology and nanomaterials is inevitable in the field of agriculture, and many researches are evidencing their potential in improving the food and agricultural systems through different approaches resulting in the enhancement of agricultural output and development of new food and food products, etc. The early research investigations in this direction documented absorption, translocation, accumulation, and effects of nanomaterials, mostly metal-based and carbon-based, in several plants including crops. Many of these research studies evidenced for the potential utility of nanomaterials in crop im
