Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pesticide residues in agricultural production affect biological health and pollute the environment. Therefore, new strategies for controlling bacteria activity are urgently needed, and nanomaterials constitute a very promising approach. Nanomaterials have attracted much attention due to their unique properties, such as small size and large specific surface area, which can be used in agricultural fields, including the detection of pesticide residues, assessment of toxicology and risk, and degradation of pesticide residues in agricultural wastewater. This Special Issue on "Nanomaterials for Agricultural Production and Development" will shed light on the green development of agriculture and rural areas. The goal is to publish at least 10 papers, including research articles, reviews, short communications, and perspectives. Submissions to this Special Issue should contain an overview of recent developments in the field of nanomaterials for agriculture, especially key challenges and new perspectives. Potential topics include but are not limited to: 1) detection of pesticide residues; 2) assessment of toxicology and risk; 3) degradation of pesticide residues; 4) semiconductor photocatalysis; 5) preparation of nanopesticides; and 6) antibacterial nanopesticides in plants.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
