Nanotechnology in Pre- and Postharvest Horticulture: Applications and Developments, CRC, Ghent, Belgium , ss.198-224, 2026
This chapter explores the emerging role of nanotechnology in the management of plant diseases, pests, and weeds. As conventional agrochemicals face increasing challenges related to resistance, environmental toxicity, and residue concerns, nanotechnology offers promising alternatives through controlled delivery systems, enhanced bioavailability, and target specificity. The chapter presents recent advancements in nanopesticides, nano-fungicides, and nanoherbicides, emphasizing their modes of action, formulation techniques, and potential benefits over traditional methods. It also highlights the role of nanosensors in the early detection of pathogens and stress conditions, enabling precision agriculture strategies. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of how nano-based materials can be used in crop protection practices. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, agronomists, and policymakers aiming to adopt sustainable plant protection approaches in modern agriculture.
