Green Synthesized Nanomaterials for Safe Technology in Sustainable Agriculture

Nanotechnology is a new emerging cutting-edge technology in the 21st century and has applications in medical, cosmetics, electronics, energy, food, agriculture, and many sectors. Nanomaterials (NMs) are the main component of nanotechnology. NMs prepared by chemical routes are very hazardous and not safe for life. Therefore, attempts are being made to prepare NMs via different green routes. It is expected that nanotechnology using green synthesized NMs will be safe. At the same time, green synthesized nanomaterials will be cost-effective. In this chapter, the applications of green synthesized NMs in agriculture have been discussed in detail.
