Carbon Nanotubes in Plant Growth and Stress Tolerance

Since their emergence, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become some of the most exciting and revolutionary nanomaterials due to their remarkable mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. They hold the potential to transform agriculture by enabling new methods for crop production, nutrient delivery, stress management, and sustainable agriculture. CNTs promise to reshape agricultural systems by combining advanced nanotechnology with eco-friendly solutions that address pressing challenges such as food security, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

This book provides an overview of the CNT applications in agriculture and acts as a bridge between materials science and sustainable agriculture. It highlights recent advances in CNT synthesis, integration, and use in sensors, disease management, fertilization, packaging, and waste recycling. With contributions from leading researchers, the chapters offer a clear vision of how CNTs can revolutionize modern agriculture. While also discussing the benefits and limitations of scaling environmentally friendly CNT use in agriculture.

The book will be useful for researchers, agricultural scientists, nanotechnology specialists, sustainability advocates, and graduate students who want to understand how CNTs can change farming and contribute to eco-friendly agricultural innovation.
