Agricultural Nanotechnology Market Trends
Sustainable Agriculture:
- Nanotechnology, by reducing chemical pesticides and fertilizers in use, contributes to greening agricultural practices. It means less soil and water resources are polluted, protecting ecosystems and biodiversity. Further, it is possible to apply nanotechnology in developing disease-resistant crops that will diminish requirements for chemical control methods of diseases while promoting integrated pest management strategies. Again, it is possible to engineer nanomaterials so they biodegrade after use, thereby minimizing their impact on the environment.
