Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Agricultural Applications

Dear Colleagues,

After the food crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has been hit by multiple crises that have severely reduced global food productivity. We need to improve agricultural productivity to achieve and maintain global food security. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology have great potential in agriculture. This Special Issue seeks submissions that address advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnology in agricultural applications. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Using nanopesticides and nanofertilizers to increase crop productivity;
• Using nanominerals to improve soil quality;
• Using carbon-based and metal-based nanomaterials to stimulate plant growth;
• Using nanosensors to provide smart monitoring;
• Using nanotechnology to explore transgenic plants;
• Using nanomaterials to remediate polluted farmland soil;
• Using nanomaterials to treat agricultural waste with high efficiency.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
