Nanomaterials | New Section “Nanotechnology in Agriculture” Established

Nanomaterials (ISSN: 2079-4991) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Section—“Nanotechnology in Agriculture”. In total, the journal has 14 Sections, covering all topics pertaining to nanomaterials.

The Section “Nanotechnology in Agriculture” focuses on the application of nanoscale materials and technologies in agricultural systems, aiming to support sustainable farming, food security, and resource efficiency. It welcomes original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and case studies that explore the practical and theoretical integration of nanotechnology in agriculture.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Nanopesticides and Nanofertilizers: The development of nanoscale formulations for targeted delivery, enhanced efficacy, and reduced ecological footprint, including studies on bioavailability and long-term soil health impacts;
Crop Enhancement: Applications of nanomaterials in seed priming, stress resistance (e.g., drought, salinity), and genetic modification techniques to improve yield and resilience;
Soil and Water Management: Innovations in nanosensors for the real-time monitoring of soil nutrients, moisture, and contaminants and nanomaterials for water purification and efficient irrigation systems;
Food Safety and Quality: Nanotechnology-enabled solutions for smart packaging, pathogen detection, and preservation technologies to extend shelf life and reduce food waste;
Environmental Impact Assessment: Critical evaluations of nanomaterial interactions with ecosystems, including toxicity, biodegradability, and lifecycle analyses to ensure sustainable deployment.
