_Nanosensors for Smart Agriculture_ covers new breakthroughs in smart
agriculture, highlighting new technologies, such as the internet of
things, big data and artificial intelligence. In addition, the book
provides the many advantages of nanosensors over their micro
counterparts, such as lower power consumption, higher sensitivity,
lower concentration of analytes, and smaller interaction distances
between the object and sensor. Sections provide information on
fundamental design concepts and emerging applications of nanosensors
in smart agriculture. The book highlights how, when cultivating soil,
nanosensors and their wireless networks can be used for soil quality
monitoring (moisture/herbicides/organic compound/trace metals
monitoring in soil, etc.
Other applications cover how smart nanosensors can be used for virus
detection and hygiene/pathogen controls in livestocks, their use as
active transport tracking devices for smart tracking and tracing, and
other various applications, such as (i) nanochips for identity (radio
frequency identification), (ii) food inspection, (iii) intelligent
food packaging, and (iv) smart storage. This is an important reference
source for materials scientists and agricultural engineers who are
looking to understand more about how nanosensor technology can be used
to create more efficient and sustainable agricultural systems.
* Outlines the fabrication and fundamental design concepts of
nanosensors for agricultural applications
* Explains how nanosensors are being used throughout the
agricultural cycle – from crop growth to food manufacturing
* Assesses major challenges surrounding the application of
nanosensors to agricultural applications in mass scale
