28 Jun Significance of biosynthesised nanoparticles for agriculture sustainability
कृषि मेें स्थायित्व के लिए जैवसंश्लेषण नैनोकणों का महत्व Nanotechnology is one of the most important and recent tools in modern science yet only a few attempts have been made to apply these advances for increasing crop productivity. The nanotechnology technique may be the most hopeful and reassuring way to improve the overall agricultural production. The potential applications of nanoparticles in agriculture sector include biosensors; gradual, time-consuming, and controlled delivery of chemical fertilizers and pesticides; detection and control of plant diseases; soil and water remediation; etc. At present however the use and employment of nanotechnology in the agricultural field is in the infant stage; however, if discovered gradually and used in a sustainable way, this new technology can help in the orientation of our agriculture and society today to new heights in the future. Biosynthesis of nanoparticles Preparation of nano particles can be done by using physical, chemical and biological methods. Chemical method of synthesis is more useful as it takes short time for synthesis of bulk amount of nano particles. The chemicals reagents used in chemical methods are toxic and lead to synthesis of by-products which are not environment friendly. Therefore, there is need of development of procedure which is eco-friendly and not requires any toxic material for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The methodology for nano...
