Massive accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural land as a result enhanced levels toxicity the soil is an emerging global concern. Among various metals, zinc contamination has severe effects on plant and human health through food chain. To remove such toxicity, nanotechnological neutralizer, cobalt oxide nanoballs (Co3O4 Nbs) were synthesized by using extract Cordia myxa. The Co3O4 Nbs well characterized via UV-vis spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques. Green-synthesized exposed over Acacia jacquemontii nilotica at different concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100 ppm). Highly significant results observed for growth application ppm, thereby increasing root length (35%), shoot (48%), fresh weight (44%), dry (40%) species with respect to control. Furthermore, physiological parameters including chlorophyll contents, relative water osmolyte contents like proline sugar showed prominent increase. antioxidant activity atomic absorption supported justified positive response that mitigated heavy-metal stress improving growth. Hence, biocompatible counteract governing maintaining Such tools can therefore step up cropping system overcome meet productivity demand along development management strategies.

Nanosilica is a versatile nanomaterial suitable as, e.g., drug carriers in medicine, fillers polymers, and fertilizer/pesticide potentially bioavailable source of silicon agriculture. The enhanced biological activity nanosilica over quartz sand has been noted before; it directly related to the altered physicochemical properties nanoparticles compared those bulk material. Therefore, feasible use as form plant stimulant. synthesis relatively cheap routine process on laboratory scale; however, not easily scalable. Largely for this reason, studies fertilizers are scarce. This study will focus industrial-scale silica nanoparticle production application stimulant maize. A variant sol-gel method used successfully synthesize particles starting from sand. resulting size range 16-37 nm with great purity. potential demonstrated increased quantity quality maize crops.

Global crop production is significantly reduced by rapid changes in the climate, either natural or manmade activities. The frequent application of various fertilizers, has resulted soil pollution, which further exacerbated water scarcity. indiscriminate use chemical fertilizers led to devastating consequences such as reduction fertility, environmental contamination, increased insect resistance, destroyed biodiversity, and ultimately heavy economic losses. Another approach being investigated explored biofertilizers, a better supplement improve yields without harming environment. However, significant challenge lies fact that plants cannot utilize whole biofertilizer intact, much portion remained unabsorbed became part instead reaching targeted site. This problem can be solved nanotechnology; nano-biofertilizers increase tolerance against abiotic stresses. They plant morphology, biochemistry yield, well composition. Thus, comparison conventional nano-biofertilizer produce eco-friendly, sustainable longer-lasting outcomes. paper discusses review formulations based on nanotechnology for agriculture development. invention species highlighted this paper, along with how it improves growth development plants.
