Overview

COURSE OUTLINE : Modern agriculture is a chemical intensive process starting from fertilizer, pesticide to food preservation. Modern nanotechnology tools if used judiciously in future, have the ability to offer sustainable development along with the optimal, precision and more effective use of chemicals. In this course, I will be sharing my journey from basic agriculture to modern day nanoparticle based agriculture practices.

    Nanotechnology can increase agricultural production, and its applications include: (1) nanoformulations of agrochemicals for applying pesticides and fertilizers for crop improvement; (2) the application of nanosensors in crop protection for the identification of diseases and residues of agrochemicals; (3) nanodevices . Its amazing course
  • ABDULLAHI MUSA
    The course is very interesting and the lectures is good easy understand the lecturer. Nanotechnology is good to all aspects of agriculture particularly in the farming activities.
  • Udaysinh Bhagvanbhai Jadav
