Abstract
The physicochemical properties of silver nanoparticles make them a ubiquitous material having diverse applications in multiple disciplines. The extensive utilization of nanosilver resource potentiates the environmental exposure and effects on the ecosystem. The silver nanoparticles undergo composite physicochemical transformations in the environment and agroecosystems before meeting their eventual fate. These physicochemical transformations include oxidation, dissolution, aggregation, chlorination, sulfidation, and regeneration that manifest imminent effects on various components of an ecosystem. The current chapter highlights the introduction, uptake, accumulation, transformation, and the consequent fate of silver nanoparticles in agricultural ecosystems.
