About the Authors
Dr. Javid A. Parray, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Higher Education Department at the Government Degree College Eidgah, Srinagar, India, where he teaches the subject of environmental science. He has published many research articles in reputable refereed international and national journals. He had authored books on different themes, including Approaches to Heavy Metal Tolerance in Plants; Sustainable Agriculture: Biotechniques in Plant Biology; and Sustainable Agriculture: Advances in Plant Metabolome and Microbiome, soil bioremediation, climate change and microbes, etc. He was awarded the ‘Scientist of the Year Award’ by the Indian Academy of Environmental Science for the year 2015 in addition to being awarded with an international travel grant for participating in international conferences. He is currently the editor and reviewer of many reputed journals. He is also the founder of Academy of Ecoscience. Dr. Parray completed a fast‐track project entitled ‘Molecular characterization and metabolic potential of rhizospheric bacteria from Arnebia benthamii across North Western Himalaya’ at CORD, University of Kashmir, India. He finished his postdoctoral research associateship on a DBT‐funded project entitled ‘Tissue culture‐based network programme on saffron’. He earned a PhD degree in environmental science with a specialization in plant microbe interactions on the topic ‘Evaluating role of rhizospheric bacteria in saffron culture’ from the University of Kashmir, India. Dr. Parray is also the subject course coordinator for Environmental Science Approved CEC‐Moocs by MHRD, Government of India, New Delhi.

About the Book
Contemporary agriculture shares the important portion of global economy for any sought‐after growth, especially for its major contribution to human upliftment through poverty eradication, fast industrialization, financial change and investment, sustainable resource usage, and environmental management. The miniature aspect of nanotechnology controls major agricultural processes because of its diminutive dimensions. In addition, the use of nanotechnologies can be resonant obstruction, thanks to the many potential advantages such as enhancing the quality and safety of food, decreasing agricultural inputs, and enhancing soil absorption of nanoscale nutrients. This book will be immensely helpful to the students of plant biotechnology, agricultural sciences, and agricultural engineering students of both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in universities, colleges, and research institutes. The book will support researchers who work in the field of plant biotechnology and agricultural sciences. It is hoped this book will be another step towards the beneficial approach in plant biotechnology and setting of a new arena in shaping the new biotechniques towards the sustainable cause.
