Handbook of Agricultural Biotechnology, Volume 2

The book provides a detailed examination of the application of nanobioherbicides that come from plants. It includes information on the different metabolites derived from numerous plants that could become bioherbicides. Covered thoroughly herein are the relevant methodology and techniques that could be applied for the characterization and structural elucidation of the active constituents from plants. The book gives attention to weed-plant physiology, which helps in proper elucidation of their modes of action and host range test of these nanomaterial as bioherbicides. It chronicles the activities of nanobioherbicides on weeds during preliminary bioassays, pot assays, in-house screenings, and during field trials. Furthermore, deep data is provided on the commercial potential of these nanobioherbides derived from plants, while toxicity assays are also highlighted.
