This descriptive survey research was undertaken to study the factors affecting attitudes of agricultural faculty members towards nanotechnology. The statistical population of this study consisted of the agricultural faculty members in Iran (N=225). A sample of 144 persons was selected by using the stratified random sampling method. Data collected using a mailed questionnaire that was validated ...

This study explores the image of synthetic biology and nanotechnology in comparison to agricultural biotechnology and communication technology by examining spontaneous associations with, and deliberate evaluations of, these technologies by university students. Data were collected through a self-completion online questionnaire by students from two universities in Switzerland. The survey aimed to...

Nanotechnology monitors a leading agricultural controlling process, especially by its miniature dimension. Additionally, many potential benefits such as enhancement of food quality and safety, reduction of agricultural inputs, enrichment of absorbing nanoscale nutrients from the soil, etc. allow the application of nanotechnology to be resonant encumbrance. Agriculture, food, and natural resourc...

Nanotechnology applications in food and agriculture is in its nascent stage and over the next decade we will see increasing uses of tools and techniques developed by nanotechnology to detect carcinogenic pathogens and biosensors for improved and contamination free food and agricultural products. Here we discuss some of these applications that has a potential for wider acceptance in the field of...

There is a growing demand for healthy and safe food, strategy against an increasing risk of biotic factors such as disease, and threats to agricultural and food production from changing global climate condition. Nanotechnology is a new discipline and developed innovative tools to revolutionize the agricultural and food industry through diagnosis and treatment of diseases, enhancing the ability ...

the main purpose of this study was to study the barriers to nanotechnology entrepreneurship development in the iranian agricultural sector. a descriptive- survey method was used for collecting data. the statistical population of this study consisted of 190 researchers who were working in the national agricultural research institutions (n=190). based on the krejcie and morgan table, a sample of ...

Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary research field. In recent past efforts have been made to improve agricultural yield through exhaustive research in nanotechnology. The green revolution resulted in blind usage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers which caused loss of soil biodiversity and developed resistance against pathogens and pests as well. Nanoparticle-mediated material delivery to...

the main purpose followed in this study was to identify and analyze the mechanisms of nanotechnology development in iranian agricultural sector. the research method was an analytical- explanatory one. the statistical population of the study consisted of researchers of national agricultural research institutions/ centers (n= 170). according to morgan& krejcie table, 120 persons were selected thr...
