Nano-biotechnology and Its Applications in Maintaining Soil Health

Today, with a vast increase in the sustainable development area, sustainable agriculture is the top need around the globe. Agriculture is the primary source of essential components for industry, so it is crucial to have technology that enables greater yields, superior cultivation, and the preservation of crops in an approach that is affordable, environmentally benign, and viable. For sustained and improved agriculture, various modern-driven processes are being launched worldwide, of which nano-biotechnology is the one that can change the whole scenario of the agriculture system. Soil is the base of agriculture, so it should be given full consideration for its nutrition and health. Adjoining nano-biotechnology for the improvement of soil health is the major concept of this chapter. This chapter will cover several applications of nanotechnology in the context of soil for agricultural growth.
