Field Application of ZnO and TiO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticles on Agricultural Plants

Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have potential application in precision farming and sustainable agriculture. Studies have shown that ENPs enhance the efficiency of the delivery of agrochemicals and thus, have the potential to positively affect the environment, thereby improving the growth and health...

description Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have potential application in precision farming and sustainable agriculture.
